The Trident Swim Foundation’s swimming and tutoring curriculum, the
Swimmer Scholar Program, is designed as a foundation for student success,
both before and after graduation. The Program is based on three core principles:
- Discipline — Through mandatory attendance at both structured swim
practices and afterschool study sessions, participants will learn the
rewards and necessity of hard work in and out of the pool.
- Self-confidence — Through competition and academic improvement,
participants will better understand their abilities and their strengths.
- Teamwork — Swimming is both an individual and a team-
based sport and participants will learn how to support the goals of
the team by swimming in meets, both on relays, and in
their individual events.
By emphasizing academics as well as training, the program teaches the Swimmer Scholars how to
apply these same core principles to their lives in the classroom and beyond. Click here for more details.
Trident Swim Foundation currently has a full Swimmer Scholar Program at the George Washington Educational Campus in the Washington Heights neighborhood in
northern Manhattan, and has partnered with the Children's Aid Society at the Dunlevy Milbank Center in Harlem to develop the premier competitive swim program
in New York City as a complement to the Center's educational programs.
