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.
Emmy Gallion, a high school senior from Arlington, Virginia, has committed to swim for Division I Liberty University. Gallion will graduate from high school in spring 2021 join the Flames’ class of 2025.
Gallion is a current swimmer for the Nations Capital Swim Club where she is a Futures qualifier. At the 2018 Potomac Valley Senior Short Course Championships, she placed 4th in the 100 backstroke with a time of 58.51.
“I am so excited to announce that I will be continuing my academic and swimming career at Liberty University. I am so grateful to my wonderful teammates, coaches, and family for supporting me and pushing me to be the the very best I can be. I can’t wait to represent Liberty as a lady flame. Go Flames!”
