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.
Backstroke specialist Kanish Chakraborty has committed to swim for the University of Chicago’s Division III program beginning in the fall of 2026. Based in Motor City, Dubai, Chakraborty currently trains with Hamilton Aquatics and attends Jumeirah College.
“I am thrilled to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Chicago for the admissions process, where I will continue my academic and swimming careers. I am grateful to my parents, friends, Coach Jason, and my swim team for their support throughout the process. GO MAROONS!”
Chakraborty recently posted several long course personal bests at the 51st Indian Junior National Aquatic Championships 2025, held in August in Ahmedabad, India. He won the 100 back (57.40), 200 back (2:04.98), and 400 IM (4:36.63), and finished 2nd in the 200 IM (2:08.69) and 50 back (27.05). His times in the 100 back, 200 back, 200 IM, and 400 IM all remain as his lifetime bests.

Chakraborty could help strengthen the team’s backstroke group, as his converted 200 back time of 1:50.43 would have ranked as the second-fastest on the team last season. The top 200 back time was 1:47.20, posted by John Butler, who will be a sophomore in the 2025–2026 season.
Chakraborty will head to campus in the fall of 2026, along with fellow recruits Kevin Zhan and Victor Krautsov. Krautsov also brings a solid 100 back time of 52.29.
