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.
After announcing her verbal commitment to the University of Alabama almost a year ago, Krista Wheeler has changed her commitment to the University of Louisville.
Wheeler’s from the city of Louisville, where she trains with Cardinal Aquatics, and she’ll now join her older sister Kaylee Wheeler this fall. Kaylee will be a senior and a key breaststroker on the roster next season, and she’s racing at NCAAs this week.
I am so excited to be able to announce that I will be continuing the next chapter of my athletic and academic career at the University of Louisville. Thank you to everyone who has helped me through the process❤️🖤Go Cards❤️🖤

Nice
the first of many? interested to see how all the coley problems affect their recruiting
Maybe the first of many, but i think Bama not having Coley is the ‘problem’ here. But keep blaming him for everything.
How about “institutional instability”, or not being able to swim for the coach you committed to, or perhaps not wanting to swim for a first time head coach with very very short coaching history (Margo’s future success is unknown, wish her the best, but it’s v different than what this kid originally signed up for)
Agreed. With Coley gone, a new coach w literally no work experience, and uncertainty about the future of the program (performance wise), i can see why someone would opt to go elsewhere.
