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.
Butterfly and freestyle specialist Reece Carlson has committed to swim for the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC) beginning in the fall of 2025. Carlson is a senior at Minnetonka High School in Minnesota and currently trains with the Minnetonka Swim Club.
Carlson has been swimming for 11 years and played football for 12, ultimately choosing to focus solely on swimming during his senior year. He plans to major in Kinesiology and currently coaches for his club team. Carlson is the first person in his family to swim competitively and the first to compete at the NCAA Division I level.
“I’m super excited to announce my commitment to swim and study D1 at the University of Illinois-Chicago! I’d like to thank Coach JB, Coach Dennis and Coach Bryce for helping me throughout my journey. I’d also like to thank Coach Ashley and Coach Danny for helping me reach my dream of competing in the NCAA. Finally I’d like to thank my teammates and competitors for pushing me further than I could ever imagine. Go Flames!
