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.
Addison Buckman from Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania has announced her commitment to continue her athletic and academic careers at James Madison beginning for the 2026-2027 season.
“I feel so blessed to become part of JMU’s women’s swim team in 2026. It is an awesome program and Head Coach Dane and Assistant Coach Becca are amazing. I am so excited to become apart of this wonderful swim family! GO DUKES!!”
Buckman swims for Cumberland Valley Aquatic Club. She finished her long course season at Futures in Greensboro, posting best times in all of her events. She swam to 21st place finish in the 50 fly (28.62), 22nd place finish in the 100 fly (1:03.49), 24th place finish in the 50 back (31.22), and 31st place finish in the 100 back (1:05.63).
She just began her senior year at Cumberland Valley High School. In February, she finished 2nd in the 100 fly at the Pennsylvania 3A State Championships, touching in a 55.28. She also was 5th in the 100 back in a 56.33.
Buckman’s best SCY Times:
100 back: 55.90 100 fly: 54.92The James Madison women captured the 2025 Sun Belt Conference title with 1067.5 points, finishing almost 100 points ahead of Marshall (974 points). Jess Pryne led the way for JMU scoring 57 individual points and was highlighted by conference titles in the 200 IM (2:00.35) and 400 iM (4:14.25).
Based on her best times, Buckman has the potential to make a huge impact for JMU. Her best time in the 100 fly would have been 4th at the conference level, just ahead of JMU’s Ann Chappell Ellington who was 4th in a 55.34. Buckman’s best time in the 100 back would have been 6th, just ahead of Sarah Pauley from JMU who swam to a 56.27.
Buckman will arrive next fall as a member of the class of 2030 along with Ava Simpson who hails from North Carolina. Simpson specializes in mid-distance freestyle.
