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.
Futures finalist Adam Speedie has verbally committed to Youngstown State University for the recruiting class of 2026.
I am so excited and humbled to proudly announce my verbal commitment to continue my academic and athletic career at Youngstown State University! None of this would have been possible without the unwavering support of so many wonderful people around me. I’d like to thank my parents for always believing in me and pushing me to be my very best and to my coaches who have never given up on me and have brought me to the swimmer I am today. The lessons i’ve learned from you all will last a lifetime. Lastly, I would like to give a big thank you to Coach Smith and the amazing team at Youngstown for giving me this amazing opportunity! GO PENGUINS!!
Speedie attends Cypress Woods High School in Cypress, Texas. At the 2025 Texas 6A High School State Meet, Speedie swam the 500 freestyle, finishing 14th overall in 4:35.58. This is new ground for the Youngstown State team that doesn’t have any Texans currently on their roster.
In March, he swam at the Speedo Sectionals Meet in Justin setting new best times in the 50 free (22.79) and 400 IM (4:04.97). He also qualified for finals in the 400 IM, finishing 36th overall.
Speedie swims club for the Houston Hydra, and in July he participated at the USA Swimming Futures Championships in Justin. There, he qualified for the ‘A’ final in the 400 free (4:08.37), 200 fly (2:07.29), and 400 IM (4:39.24)

Youngstown State is a Division I school in Youngstown, Ohio. They compete in the Horizon League where they finished 5th out of seven teams at last year’s conference championships, scoring 410 points to come in four points behind Milwaukee in 4th and just 80 points behind Cleveland State in 3rd.
Speedie will make a significant impact on the team from the moment he arrives on campus next fall. On the Youngstown State team last season, he would have been 1st in the 500 free and 400 IM, 3rd in the 200 free and 200 fly, and 4th in the 200 IM.
He is also a potential conference scorer in the 500 free and 200 fly and he sits just outside of scoring position in the 400 IM and 200 freestyle events.
