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.
Daphne Peterson, a current high school junior from West Simsbury, Connecticut, has committed to swim for Division I Northeastern University. Peterson will graduate from Ethel Walker School in spring 2021 and join the Huskies’ class of 2025.
Peterson is a current year-round swimmer for Charter Oak Aquatics. In 2018, Peterson placed 2nd in the 800 LCM freestyle (9:35.15), 400 IM (5:17.22) and 200 butterfly (2:28.54) at the Eastern Zone Age Group Championships.
Earlier this year at the 2020 Connecticut Swimming Senior Championships, Peterson placed 4th in the 1650 freestyle (17:17.92).
“I am beyond excited to announce my verbal commitment to swim and study at Northeastern University! A huge thank you to my coaches, teammates, and family – particularly Amelia and Maggie- for spending every waking hour with me in and out of the pool. I look forward to the amazing opportunities that Northeastern has to offer. GO HUSKIES!”
