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.
Christopher “Crispy” Barton, a current high school senior from Sarasota, Florida, has committed to swim for Division I La Salle University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Barton will graduate from Riverview High School in spring 2020 and join the Explorer’s class of 2024.
Barton is a current year-round swimmer for the Sarasota YMCA Sharks along with swimming for his high school team at Riverview.
According to his Instagram, Barton said:
“Very ecstatic to announce my commitment to La Salle University! I can not be more proud to further my academic and athletic career at an institution as prestigious as this one! I’d like to thank my friends, family, and of course coaches for getting me to this point! Go Explorers! #neverlost”
With his current best times, Barton would have placed just outside of scoring finals at the 2020 Atlantic-10 Championships with La Salle.
