By Terin Frodyma on SwimSwam

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.

Texas has landed its second top-ranked recruit in the class of 2027. Audrey Derivaux, the top-ranked recruit in the girls’ class of 2027, committed to the Longhorns on Monday, joining the boys’ #1 recruit, Luka Mijatovic, who sent his verbal to Texas on Oct. 31.

Derivaux announced her commitment to the Longhorns on her Instagram on Monday.

@texaswsd

I am honored to announce my verbal commitment to advance my academic and swimming career at the University of Texas. Thank you to Coach Carol, Coach Mitch, and the entire Texas coaching staff for giving me this opportunity.

I would also like to thank my family, especially my mom and dad, for supporting me throughout my entire swimming career. Finally, I thank the lord for guiding me through this process.

I am excited for this next chapter and I can’t wait to see what it brings. Hook ‘Em

Derivaux is one of the best IMers and all-around swimmers of her age. This past summer, the Haddonfield, N.J., native became a four-time World Junior champion (LCM) with her performance in Otopeni. She took home three individual gold medals, including the 200 IM (2:10.58), the 200 butterfly (2:07.57), and a championship record-breaking 200 backstroke (2:06.99). She added a relay gold to her resume, swimming the fly leg of the gold medal-winning 400 medley relay (3:59.85).

Derivaux is one of the most well-rounded swimmers in the country, with a track record and a list of accomplishments to back it up. At just 14 years old, she was a finalist in the 400 IM final at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials. That momentum then carried into the Winter Juniors – East (SCY) in December, where she went on to win the 200 fly (1:55.18), 200 IM (1:55.24), and 400 IM (4:06.11).

A few months later, at the Speedo Southern Premier, she was even quicker, swimming a pair of new lifetime bests in the 200 fly (1:52.78) and 400 IM (4:03.31).

This level of production is nothing new to the Jersey Wahoos product, as she holds a pair of 13-14 short-course National Age Group records in both the 200 fly (1:54.33) and 200 IM (1:55.73). In the 15-16 age group, she is the 3rd fastest ever in the 400 IM, 5th in the 200 fly, 9th in the 200 back, and 13th in both the 100 fly and 200 IM.

Her long-course output has also neared the top of many age group performances. In the 15-16 age group, Derivaux is the 3rd fastest performer of all-time in the girls’ 100 fly and 200 fly (2:06.46), 4th in the 200 back (2:06.68) and 200 IM, and 8th in the 400 IM.

Derivaux’s Best Times (SCY)

Even with just under two years until her collegiate debut, Derivaux would be a national contender right now for the Longhorns.

She is a projected NCAA Championship ‘A’ finalist in both the 200 fly and 400 IM right now, and sits just outside of that top final contention in the 200 back (would have been 10th at 2025 NCAAs) and 200 IM (would have been 13th).

It seems like there is no question that the 400 IM is pretty close to a lock for one of those postseason events in her collegiate career. But with the 200 back and 200 fly as back-to-back events and the 200 IM falling at the beginning of that session with the new NCAA Championship format, Derivaux may end up swimming something other than what we may initially expect her to.

As for where she stands on the conference level, Derivaux would have placed 3rd in the 200 back, 4th in both the 200 fly and the 400 IM, and 7th in the 200 IM at last season’s SEC Championships.

Texas went on to comfortably win the 2025 women’s SEC title, finishing 271 points ahead of runners-up Florida.

Derivaux will look to be a game-changing addition to a Texas women’s team that finished 3rd at the 2025 NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships.

Fortunately for Texas, Derivaux holds elite speed across nearly every discipline and distance, offering plenty of flexibility to craft the most high-scoring meet lineups possible.

The Longhorns’ program offers much more than just the collegiate team; under Bob Bowman, the pro group at Texas includes the likes of Leon Marchand, Summer McIntosh, Regan Smith, and Carson Foster.

Derivaux joins the Longhorns’ 2027 recruiting class with #3 Sadie Buckley, #8 Daisy Collins, #11 Bianca Nwaizu, and Milan Glintmeyer.
