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.
Romanian native Diana Stiger has announced her commitment to Auburn University as a member of the Tiger’s 2027 recruiting class.
Stiger wrote the following in regards to her commitment.
I am so excited and grateful to announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and swimming career at Auburn University! A huge thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout this journey. I am especially grateful to Coach Ryan, Coach Averee, and the entire Auburn staff for believing in me and welcoming me into the Auburn family. War Eagle!
Stiger hails from Bucuresti, Romania, where she represented her home country at the European Junior Championships. At those championships, Stiger reached a pair of finals, finishing 6th in both the 800 free and 1500 free in 8:45.34 and 16:41.08. She ended up swimming best times in each of those event in the prelims, in 8:42.24 and 16:34.63.
Last season, Stiger also competed at the World Junior Championships in Otopeni, Romania. finishing 9th in the 1500 free (16:39.88), 12th in the 800 free (8:44.75), and 13th in the 400 free (4:15.73).
Many of Stiger’s short-course bests came in 2023 at the European Short Course Championships, where she notched career bests in the 400 free (4:11.32), 800 free (8:30.56), and 1500 free (16:36.98).
Best Times (Converted to SCY):
Event LCM SCY 200 Free 2:03.03 1:47.85 400 Free 4:15.34 4:46.09 (500 Free) 800 Free 8:42.24 9:45.14 (1000 Free) 1500 Free 16:34.63 16:15.12 (1650 Free)Stiger joins an Auburn women’s team that finished 25th at the NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships after a 7th place finish at the SEC Championships a few weeks earlier.
Based on her converted times, Stiger would have placed 8th in the 1650 free, 21st in the 500 free, and 33rd in the 200 free at the SEC Championships.
Stiger brings some big-time international racing experience, and proven international results to an Auburn team that is aiming to move up fast in the the SEC and national ranks.
Though her times and projections are all speculative, her impact could be felt immediately, as that projected 1650 time would have led the entire Auburn team a season ago by more than 10 seconds.
Stiger joins Grace Pereira as the lone commitments in the 2027 recruiting class for Auburn.
