NEW COMMIT: The University of Pennsylvania has received a new verbal commitment* for the 2021-22 season and beyond from Scottsdale, Az. native Aaron Rosen.

He will join U.S. National Junior Teamer Matthew Fallon as a member of the Quakers’ class of 2025.

He told Swimming World:

“I am very excited to announce my verbal commitment to the University of Pennsylvania! I can’t wait to continue my academic and athletic career at such a prestigious university! I would like to thank my parents, especially my mom, my coaches, and my friends for all their support through this process! #GoQuakers”

A versatile swimmer, Rosen is a Junior National qualifier who swims year-round with Scottsdale Aquatic Club. He most recently registered four top-5 finishes at Arizona Seniors after earning seven best times at Juniors West in December. Last summer, he finished sixth in the 400m free and ninth in the 400m IM at Mount Hood Futures.

He also represented Team USA at the 15th European Maccabi Games in Budapest in 2019. There, he collected gold medals in the 50m free, 200m free, 400m free, 100m breast, 200m breast, 100m fly, 200m fly, and 200m IM.

His best times include:

200 IM – 1:50.40
400 IM – 3:57.26
50 free – 21.23
100 free – 46.20
200 free – 1:38.88
100 breast – 57.04
200 breast – 2:05.44
200 fly – 1:49.55

Also competing for Pinnacle High School, Rosen is a three-time Arizona DI State Championship finalist. The two-time USA Swimming Scholastic All-American earned the bronze medal in both the 100 breast and 200 IM as a junior while taking fourth in the latter event during his sophomore season.
