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.
Scottsdale Aquatic Club’s Hudson Martz has verbally committed to the University of Denver as a part of the Pioneer men’s 2026 recruiting class.
“I’m so excited to announce my commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at the University of Denver. I’d like to thank my family, the entire team at Scottsdale Aquatic Club and coaches Scott and Garret for supporting and guiding me every step of the way. I’m so grateful for the coach Alicia and coach Mark at Denver for giving me this opportunity! #gopios ”
The Scottsdale, Ariz., native took home a pair of titles earlier this summer at the Speedo Sectionals (LCM) in Mt. Hood. There, he turned in the top times in the 800 freestyle (8:16.36) setting a lifetime best, and 1500 free (15:55.18), just off of his best from Futures in Austin last year of 15:54.01. Martz also finaled in another three events, including the 200 breaststroke (7th, 2:26.71), just slower than his prelims swim of 2:22.52 which stands as his best, 400 IM (5th, 4:36.77), and 400 free (2nd, 4:00.45), both his 400 IM and 400 free set new best times.
Martz represents Pinnacle High School, where, as a junior, he turned in a runner-up finish in the 500 free in 4:34.39 (slower than his best of 4:28.89 from the SAC Short Course Qualifier) and a 5th place performance in the 200 IM in 1:55.03 (best time) at the AIA Division 1 State Championship.
One of Martz’s best short course shows came in Austin at the Speedo Sectionals in March. He set lifetime bests in four races that still stand today, including the 200 breast (2:04.45), 400 IM (4:00.55), 1000 free (9:15.98), and 1650 free (15:33.41).
Best Times SCY:
200 Free: 1:41.30 500 Free: 4:28.89 1000 Free: 9:15.98 1650 Free: 15:33.41 200 IM: 1:55.03 400 IM: 4:00.55 200 Breast: 2:04.45The Pioneer men took home the 2025 Summit League Swimming and Diving Championship last season. Marking their 11th title in the last 12 years.
Based on Martz’s best times, he would have qualified for the championship final in the 400 IM, 500 free, and 1650 free.
Martz is an immediate title contender within the program and the conference. He will join a very well-established distance department at Denver that took the top three spots in the 1650 at the Summit League Championships a season ago. There is still a year to develop for Martz, and that year could be very important to potentially leapfrog him into a top-three or potentially top-of-the-podium contender.
With the dominance that Denver had in the Summit League, Martz could very well continue to grow the program to another four years worth of high level performances for the Pioneers.
Martz is the first publicized recruit for Denver in the men’s 2026 recruiting class.
