| Although the OSSC has temporarily suspended operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we still want to acknowledge our swimmers who have made their college commitments this season. If a swimmer was still a member of our team in 2020 before the pandemic began, then we will do our best to list him or her below, while also crediting their current teams if they made their commitments after transferring teams. We are doing this to celebrate and congratulate these athletes; however, if anyone would prefer not to be included on this page for any reason, simply email us and we will remove you.
