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.
High school junior Sara Jass from Geneva, Illinois has announced her verbal commitment to the University of Illinois and will head to Champaign in the fall of 2022.
“I’m super excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Illinois! I want to thank my family, friends and coaches for their constant support. #jointhefight 🧡💙”
Jass swims for Rosary High School and Academy Bullets Swim Club. She is a two-time USA Swimming Scholastic All-American who specializes in breaststroke, freestyle, and IM. She placed 12th in the 100 breast as a sophomore at the 2019 IHSA Girls State Swimming and Diving Championships. At the Sectionals meet in the fall of 2020, she swam the 50 free and 100 breast, placing 7th and 6th, respectively.

She notched PBs in the 200 and 400 IM in the spring of her sophomore year swimming at the 2020 Illinois LSC Senior Short Course Championships and the SCST Chicagoland Championships.
