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.
High school junior Kylie McMurray from Monroeville, New Jersey has verbally committed to swim and study at the University of Georgia, where she will begin in the 2025-26 school year. She wrote on social media:
“I am thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to continue my swimming and academic careers at the University of Georgia! I want to thank my friends, family, coaches, and especially thank my sister and Coach Ryan Sprang for always being my biggest supporters. I’m so thankful for the coaches and the team at UGA for giving me this amazing opportunity and making me feel so welcomed. GO DAWGS!!🐾❤️”
