Isabella Cardenas has officially signed to swim at the University of Denver for her collegiate career. Cardenas will arrive on campus from Sarasota, FL next fall as part of the class of 2029.

I am proud to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Denver to continue my academic and swimming adventure! I want to thank all of my family, friends, coaches, and teammates throughout the world who have supported me. Thank you to Coach Alicia and Coach Lucas for this amazing opportunity. GO PIONEERS‼️

Cardenas trains with the Sarasota Sharks year-round and also competes for her high school, Riverview. She recently wrapped up her high school career with Riverview, helping them win at the FHSAA Class 4A State Championships. Cardenas made the ‘A’ final in both her events, the 200 IM and 100 breaststroke. She also swam on the 200 medley and 200 freestyle relay, which both finished on the podium.

At the meet, she swam lifetime bests in her individual events, clocking 2:02.97 in the 200 IM and 1:04.34 in the 100 breaststroke. Since then, she’s raced at the SYS Turkey Meet, swimming lifetime bests in the 50 freestyle (23.61), 1000 freestyle (11:01.49), and 100 backstroke (56.57). Her times in the 50 freestyle and 100 backstroke were Futures cuts, as were her times in the 200 breast (2:20.09) and 400 IM (4:29.50).
