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.
Nicolas Kokidko of Miami, Florida has announced his verbal commitment to stay in-state and continue his academic and athletic career at Florida State University. He represents Colombia at the international level.
“I am pleased and proud to announce my verbal commitment to Florida State University. I want to give thanks to my coaches, family, and friends who have helped me throughout the recruiting process and who have been by my side since the start of my swimming career which I will continue to pursue in the coming years. GO NOLES!!!🍢”
Kokidko swims for the Metro Aquatic Club of Miami and G. Holmes Braddock Senior High School. He most recently competed at Futures in Greensboro where he was highlighted by wins in the 200 and 400 freestyles. He swam to a season best 1:51.65 in the 200 free and a lifetime best 3:55.93 in the 400 free. He also swam a lifetime best 2:01.61 200 fly for 3rd.
