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.
Aubrey Martin of Santa Clarita, California, has committed to swim and study at Colorado State University, beginning in the 2026–2027 school year. She trains year-round with the Canyons Aquatic Club and attends Valencia High School.
Martin, a sprint freestyle and butterfly specialist, confirmed the commitment in an email to SwimSwam. She provided the following quote:
I am incredibly grateful and excited to announce my verbal commitment to continue my swimming and academic journey at Colorado State University! I want to sincerely thank my family, friends, and coaches for their support in helping me reach this moment. A special thank you to my mom and dad for always being there for me, and to Coach Woody and Coach Lisa for this incredible opportunity. I can’t wait to be a part of the Ramily! Go Rams!
Martin’s three biggest meets of the high school season were the Foothill League Championships at the end of April, the CIF Southern Section Division 1 Championships in early May, and the CIF State Meet in mid-May.
During the League Championships, Martin posted a lifetime best of 51.35 in the 100 free to earn silver, and won the 200 free with a time of 1:53.54. She also anchored two winning relays, splitting 23.23 on the 200 medley relay and 50.90 to close the 400 free relay.
At the Section meet, Martin helped the 200 medley relay take fourth and the 400 free relay finish 10th, anchoring both with splits of 23.01 and 52.09. Individually, she placed eighth in the 100 free at 51.54, just a few tenths off her best, and 18th in the 200 free at 1:57.87.
She wrapped up her season at State by anchoring the 200 medley relay in 23.30 to help the team take ninth, and leading off the 400 free relay in 52.43. Individually, she contested only the 100 free, touching 28th overall in 51.98.
Outside of freestyle, Martin also holds bests of 55.79 in the 100 fly and 2:05.70 in the 200 IM, showcasing some versatility beyond her core events.
Top SCY Times:
- 50 Freestyle: 23.66
- 100 Freestyle: 51.35
- 200 Freestyle: 1:51.89
- 100 Butterfly: 55.79

Colorado State is led by head coach Christopher Woodard, who has been at the helm of the program since 2011. The women finished seventh out of ten teams at the 2025 Mountain West Swimming and Diving Championships.
At this past season’s conference meet, which offers ‘A’, ‘B’, and ‘C’ finals, Martin has several personal bests within striking distance of cracking the top 24. Last year, it took 23.37, 50.80, and 1:51.34 to qualify in the 50–200 free, while 55.65 and 2:05.61 were the cutoffs in the 100 fly and 200 IM.
On the team’s 2024–25 depth chart, Martin would’ve ranked fourth in the 50 free, 100 free, and 100 fly, fifth in the 200 free, and sixth in the 200 IM. Junior Lexie Trietley led the way in the 50 (22.70) and 100 (49.89) free, while sophomore Mia Axelman (1:48.90) was the only swimmer under 1:49 in the 200 free. Seniors Katie Flynn (54.86) and Maisy Barbosa (2:00.99) were the top performers in the 100 fly and 200 IM, respectively.
Martin joins the Rams’ recruiting class of 2030 alongside Avery Lonegran, Lauren Golden, and Kayda Geyer.
