Fitter and Faster Swim Clinics 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.
Francesca Falzon Young, who lives in Dubai and swims for Hamilton Aquatics and the Maltese Swimming Federation, has announced her verbal commitment to the University of California, San Diego for 2019-20. She will join Gina Galloway, Juli Arzave, Katie Capelli, Katja Pavicevic, and Sophie Francis in the Tritons’ class of 2023.
“I am so excited to announce my commitment to the University of California, San Diego! I am looking forward to developing myself athletically and academically amongst the amazing and talented swimmers. I would like to thank my coach and family for helping me get to where I am and always being so supportive throughout my swimming and academic journey. Also, I want to thank my future coaches, Coach David Marsh and Coach Marko Djordjevic for making me feel so welcome when I visited the beautiful campus. I can’t wait to join the Triton family and make an impact in and out of the pool! Go Tritons!!”
