The 13 newcomers span from all over the United States as seven hail from Florida with one recruit also coming from California, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Rhode Island.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This class is full of talent with girls that join us from all over the country,&#8221; Smith said. &#8220;The caliber of swimmers and divers we are bringing into the program now is a reflection of the success our current swimmers have brought to the program. These ladies can make an immediate impact, and some have their sights on winning conference, setting records and qualifying for the NCAA Championships. They make a great addition to the beginning of the new era of FGCU swimming and diving.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Below is more information on each signee:<\/p>\n<p><strong><u>Cassidy Fry<\/u><br \/>\nHometown:
