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.
Patrick Wellman, a current high school senior from Dublin, Ohio, has committed to swim for Division III Ohio Northern University. Wellman will graduate from Jerome High School in spring 2020 and join the Polar Bear’s class of 2024.
Wellman is a current year-round swimmer for the Dublin Community Swim Team. Earlier this year, he placed 4th in the 100 butterfly (52.59) at the Central District Sectionals—Kenyon.
“I would like to proudly announce my commitment to Ohio Northern University! I chose ONU because of its well renowned engineering program, the campus size, and for it’s awesome swim team. I would like to thank my parents, my guidance counselor, my coaches, and my teammates for their help and support throughout this process. I am so excited for these next four years! GO POLAR BEARS!!!!!!”
