Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s College Recruiting Channel and all commitment news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream that is pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.

Kimberly “Kimmy” Park, a current high school senior from La Crescenta-Montrose, California, has committed to swim for Division I California State University, Bakersfield. Park will graduate from Crescenta Valley High School in spring 2020 and join the Road Runner’s class of 2024.

Park is a current year-round swimmer for Rose Bowl Aquatics. This past year at the East Los Angeles Sectionals meet, Park placed 3^rd in the 100 freestyle (52.09).

“I’m very proud to announce my commitment to California State University, Bakersfield. I love everything about the school and their amazing swim team. Not only are they amazing, the academics fit into what I want to pursue in the future.”

This year at the 2020 WAC Swimming and Diving Championships with Cal State, Park would have placed 14^th in the 100 freestyle with her current best time of 51.59.
