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.
Canadian Olympic Trials finalist Laila Oravsky has announced she will flip her commitment from Florida to Indiana. Oravsky originally committed to Florida last summer but is now set to join Indiana this fall for the 2025-2026 school year.
“After thoughtful consideration, I am beyond excited to announce I will be continuing my academic and athletic careers at Indiana University. I want to thank my family, friends, coaches, teammates, as well as the incredible coaches at IU for making all of this possible. I cannot wait to be a part of such an amazing team! GO HOOSIERS!”
