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.
Sydney-Cate Thornett of Arlington Aquatic Club has verbally committed to William & Mary for fall 2021. She’s a senior at Georgetown Visitation Prep.
William & Mary said it was cutting its swim programs in September 2020, but reinstated the women’s team in October and the men’s team in November.
I chose William & Mary due to its strong academics and how tightly-knit the swim team is while still remaining extremely competitive. I am thrilled at the opportunity to be a part of such a great school and swim team!

Thornett is primarily a breaststroker. At the 2020 Washington Metro Prep League Championships, she swam the 100 breast, taking 28th overall. She also swam on both of Georgetown Prep’s shorter relays, splitting 31.65 on their ninth-place 200 medley relay and 25.99 on their 11th-place 200 free relay.
Thornett joins Julie Anderson and Lexi Nussbaum in William & Mary’s incoming class. She and Nussbaum are both around the same speed in the breaststrokes, and they’ll join a sprint breast group led by sophomore Annie Tuttle (1:03.0).
