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.
Robert Flannery from Estero, Florida has signed a National Letter of Intent to swim at Niagara University beginning in the fall of 2021.
“I am super stoked to announce my verbal commitment to further my Academic career and to swim at the Division 1 level for Niagara University! Thank you Coach Bugby for giving me the opportunity to take my talents to you.”
Flannery has been swimming for Bishop Verot High School and the club team Swim Florida in Fort Myers. He specializes in breast, free, and IM and finaled in both the 100 breast (11th) and 200 IM (12th) at the 2020 Florida High School Class 1A State Championships in November.
Since the beginning of the year, Flannery has improved his lifetime bests in the SCY 50/100 free, 100 back, 50/200 breast, 100 fly, and 200 IM as well as the LCM 100 free, 100 back, 100/200 breast, and 200/400 IM.
At the Florida Swimming Senior Championships South in March, he notched PBs in the 50/100 free, 50/200 breast, and 200 IM while finaling in the 50 free, 50 breast (5th), 100 breast (8th), 200 breast (7th), and 200 IM (15th).
Flannery will join the Niagara class of 2025 with Chad Rocha, Keith Elgar, and Kyle Dean. His best time in the 200 breast would have scored in the B final at the 2020 Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Championships.
