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.<\/p>\n<p>California high school state finalist Gavin Cameto has announced his verbal commitment to swim and study at the the University of California, San Diego beginning in the fall of 2027. He publicized the news on Instagram, writing:<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m beyond excited to announce my commitment to continue my athletic and academic career at UC San Diego. I\u2019d like to thank my coaches Kristen and Cathy for everything because I honestly could not be here without them. I\u2019d also love to thank coach Marko, Cassie and Bobby for this amazing opportunity and looking forward to my days as a Triton \ud83d\udd31 #gotritons<\/p>\n<p>A rising senior at Campolindo High School in Moraga, California, Cameto has been a member of the high school team since his freshman year. Outside of the high school season, he trains with Moraga Country Club, where he primarily specializes in sprint freestyle and butterfly.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">A two-time qualifier for the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) State Championships, Cameto is coming off a strong spring. He finished fourth in the 100 fly (47.67) and 13th in the 50 free (20.62), both current personal bests, while also helping Campolindo take sixth in the 200 medley relay (21.28 fly split) and eighth in the 200 free relay (20.85 leadoff). As a sophomore, he had touched 11th in the 100 fly, with Campolindo finishing ninth in the 200 medley relay and 22nd in the 200 free relay.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"1 1 []\">Over the course of the 2025-26 short course season, Cameto dropped nearly four tenths in the 50 free and over a second and a half in the 100 fly to reach his lifetime bests, a promising improvement curve entering his senior season. He also holds a 47.22 in the 100 free from the 2024 PC OAPB Fall Jamboree Invitational in November 2024, though he did not contest the event this past season.<\/p>\n<p>Top SCY Times:<\/p>\n<p>50 Freestyle: 20.62<br \/>\n100 Freestyle: 47.22<br \/>\n100 Butterfly: 47.67<\/p>\n<p>A Division I Mid-Major program, UCSD competes in the Big West, with the men\u2019s team placing third out of six teams at this past season\u2019s conference championships. Cameto\u2019s current lifetime best in the 100 fly would have qualified for the \u2018B\u2019 final, while times of 20.23\/44.84 were required to earn second swims in the 50\/100 free. With a full two seasons of training still ahead before his first conference meet, he is already poised to make an immediate impact.<\/p>\n<p>Cameto joins Carson Phifer as the only publicized commits in the Tritons\u2019 class of 2031 so far.<\/p>\n<p>If you have a commitment to report, please send an email with a photo (landscape, or horizontal, looks best) and a quote to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/swimswam.com\/cdn-cgi\/l\/email-protection#82d0e7e1f0f7ebf6f1c2f1f5ebeff1f5e3eface1edef\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">[email\u00a0protected]<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">About the Fitter and Faster Swim Tour\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Fitter &amp; Faster Swim Camps feature the most innovative teaching platforms for competitive swimmers of all levels.
