NEW COMMIT: Briarcliff, New York native and high school junior Carly Schwab has announced her verbal commitment to the University of Florida beginning in the fall of 2020.
Primarily a breaststroker, Schwab currently does her club swimming with Bolles School Sharks and most recently competed in two events at Juniors East in December. She capped off her summer season with a 24th-place finish in the 100m breast at NCSAs after placing 11th in both the 50m free and 100m breast at Metropolitan LCM Seniors. Also competing for Bolles School, she placed third in the 100 breast at the Florida 1A State Championships as a sophomore after finishing second in that event at the New York Federation Championships while she was a freshman at Briarcliff High School.
She told Swimming World:
“I am so excited to announce my verbal commitment to further my athletics and academics at the University of Florida! I’m so thankful for this wonderful opportunity to be a part of such an amazing team! Thank you to my family, friends, and coaches who have helped make this all possible! Go Gators!!”
Her best times include:
- 50 breast – 29.41
- 100 breast – 1:03.56
- 200 breast – 2:23.34
Although she’s not in scoring range just yet at the SEC Championships, Schwab has continuously made improvements each season with 1.5 years of club swimming still to go before suiting up for the Gators. She will also join Madison Kolessar, Amanda Ray, Kenady Beil and Elise Bauer as members of Florida’s class of 2024.
