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.
Clara Seemann from Overland Park, Kansas, has verbally committed to swim at the University of Georgia beginning in fall 2028. Seemann is a Best of the Rest ranked recruit in the way too early girls high school rankings for the class of 2028.
“I’m so excited to announce my commitment to swim at the University of Georgia! I’m beyond grateful for my family and all of their support throughout this journey. Thank you to my club coaches and my teammates for pushing me to be my best and helping me get to where I am today. A huge thank you to Coaches Stefanie, Fernando, and Jerry for this amazing opportunity. I can’t wait to be a part of such an incredible team! Go Dawgs!!”
Seemann swims for Empire KC Swim Club. She finished her long course season at Summer Juniors, where she placed 26th in the 200 breast with a lifetime best 2:34.50 in finals. She also placed 29th in the 100 breast in a 1:12.26 and 59th in the 50 breast with a lifetime best 33.63. She split a 1:11.15 on the breaststroke leg of Empire KC’s 400 medley relay, which placed 3rd, and led off the team’s 800 free relay in a lifetime best 2:06.12.
She had a strong showing this past March at Sectionals in Columbia. There she was highlighted by a win in the 200 breast as she swam a lifetime best 2:11.94. She also was 3rd in the 100 breast in a lifetime best 1:01.53. Her other top finishes were 2nd in the 1000 free (9:49.66), 3rd in the 500 free (4:49.44), and 3rd in the 400 IM (4:12.13). All of those swims were lifetime bests.
Seemann’s Best SCY Times Are:
- 400 IM: 4:12.13
- 200 IM: 2:00.61
- 200 breast: 2:11.94
- 100 breast: 1:01.53
- 500 free: 4:49.44
The Georgia women finished 8th out of 13 teams at the 2026 SEC Championships with 604 points, finishing just 50.5 points behind 7th place Auburn. Kennedi Dobson led the team with 83 points at SECs including 2nd place finishes in both the 500 and 1650 freestyles.
Based on her best times, Seemann already has the potential to make an immediate impact at the conference level. Her best time in the 400 IM would have made the SEC ‘B’ final and her 200 IM and 200 breast lifetime bests would have made the SEC ‘C’ final. It took a 4:08.78 to earn an NCAA invite in the 400 IM.
Seemann joins Grace Perry and Madalyn Petty for the class of 2032. Perry primarily swims free, fly and IM and Petty primarily swims distance free. Perry is another Best of the Rest ranked recruit while Petty is the #20 ranked recruit, meaning the class is off to a strong start.
