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.
Junior Nationals finalist Jane Chevalier has announced her verbal commitment to swim for the University of South Carolina beginning in the fall of 2028. Chevalier was named a “Best of the Rest” recruit for distance freestyle in our Way Too Early recruit rankings for the girls’ high school class of 2028.
“I am extremely excited to announce my verbal commitment to pursue my academic and athletic career at The University of South Carolina! First I want to thank my parents for their endless support, and for being at every meet no matter how far. Also thank you to my coaches John, Jack, and Dom for believing in me, and supporting me throughout my career. Finally, a huge thank you to Coach Jeff, Coach Robert, Coach Jake, and Coach Tylor for this incredible opportunity! Go Gamecocks! ”
A junior at Ursuline School in New York, Chevalier has been a member of her school’s swimming and diving team since her freshman year. She currently trains year-round with Badger Swim Club, where in addition to distance free she excels at fly and IM.
At the 2025 Winter Junior Championship – East in December, Chevalier turned in a series of top performances, earning a second swim in one event and logging a lifetime best in two events. She placed 8th in the 1000 free (9:50.57 – PB), 9th in the 1650 free (16:40.08) and 11th in the 500 free (4:47.64 – PB). She also contested the 200 free (1:49.94) and 200 IM (2:07.13).
Chevalier posted a strong showing at the 2026 Senior Mets Winter meet in February, clocking another string of personal best performances. She placed 5th in the 400 IM (4:23.03) after setting a best time of 4:17.34 during prelims, and she took 3rd in the 200 fly (2:01.37 – PB), 4th in the 1000 free (9:53.42), 6th in the 200 IM (2:05.50), 7th in the 200 free (1:50.91) and 8th in the 500 free (4:56.16).
Chevalier has competed at two consecutive NYSPHSAA Girls State Championships, with her best performances coming at the 2025 iteration last November. She snagged the runner-up spot in the 200 free (1:48.41) and 500 free (4:49.61), setting then-lifetime best times in both.
At the 2026 Junior National Championships (LCM) over the summer, Chevalier earned a second swim in two events. She placed 7th in the 200 fly (2:14.03 – PB) and 13th in the 400 IM (4:54.17 – PB), and she contested the 400 free (4:33.15) and 800 free (9:18.99).
Best Times SCY:
200 free – 1:48.41 500 free – 4:47.64 1000 free – 9:50.57 1650 free – 16:37.82 200 fly – 2:01.37 400 IM – 4:17.34South Carolina is a Division I program in the Southeastern Conference; the women’s team took 6th-place at last season’s conference championships before sending eight athletes to compete at the 2026 NCAA Division I Women’s Championship, where they finished 19th overall. To earn a second swim at the 2026 SECs, it took times of 1:46.80/4:48.60 in the 200/500 free, 1:59.67 in the 200 fly and 4:17.08 in the 400 IM, so Chevalier would have landed in the ‘C’ final in the 500 free.
On the team itself, Chevalier’s top times would have ranked her 4th in the 500 free, 1000 free and 1650 free and 5th in the 400 IM last season, putting her in a position to bring added depth to the Gamecocks’ distance discipline.
Currently committed to join Chevalier in Columbus next fall are Ella Hafner (BOTR distance free) and Zofia Kowalska-Fraczyk (back/fly), who should both make for strong training partners over their four years together.
