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.
Megan Lopez from Kingwood, Texas has announced her plans to remain in-state to swim for the University of the Incarnate Word beginning in the fall of 2022.
“I chose Incarnate Word because of the positive atmosphere and the loving coaches! Since the beginning of my recruiting journey, Incarnate Word has made me feel so welcomed. I am so excited to be able to swim for UIW!! GO CARDINALS :)”
Lopez is a junior at Kingwood High School, whom she represents in Texas UIL high school swimming. At the 2021 UIL 6A District 21 Championships, she came in 3rd in the 500 free (5:02.66) and 5th in the 200 free (1:54.08). Her best times in those events come from her sophomore year season when she placed 12th at the 6A state meet in the 500 free.
