Fitter and Faster Swim Camps is the proud sponsor of SwimSwam’s college recruiting channel and all engagement news. For many, swimming in college is a lifelong dream pursued with dedication and determination. Fitter and Faster is proud to honor these athletes and those who supported them on their journey.
Brady Robidas has announced his commitment to swimming and studies at the University of Delaware, beginning this coming fall with the 2024-2025 season. Robidas is a native of Reading, Pennsylvania, where he attends Muhlenberg High School and trains at the Boyertown YMCA.
In addition to swimming, Robidas also played baseball and water polo in high school. He was named to the all-state first team in water polo and nominated as a finalist for the Pennsylvania Water Polo Player of the Year award.
“Delaware was a perfect fit for me both academically and athletically. The school has excellent sports facilities and the team and coaches made me feel like a blue chicken from day 1 of the recruiting process. There are also many opportunities available with my major in Delaware, which made the school a perfect fit.”
Robidas, a NISCA All-American, holds the school record individually in the 50 and 100 freestyle, as well as being a member of the school’s record-setting 400 freestyle relay. Both of his individual records were set at the Pennsylvania High School State Championships (3A) this spring, where he placed third in the 50 (20.52) and fourth in the 100 (45.10).
Most recently, Robidas concluded his short pool season at the YMCA National Championships. He advanced to the finals in the 50 freestyle, where he ultimately finished 15th with a time of 20.66 in the finals.
