Swim for our Scholars!
The Great Relay is the biggest, longest pool-based relay competition in the United States. Teams of 8 or more swimmers see how quickly they can swim 5,000 yards or meters. The Great Relay supports the Trident Swim Foundation's Swimmer Scholar Program and encourages fun competition in swimming to raise awareness of the value of community-based athletic and academic programs to underserved communities in the inner city.
The Jonathan Skow Memorial Scholarship Fund honors the life of Jonathan Skow by providing an annual scholarship grant to be used toward a Trident Swimmer Scholar's college expenses. The Trident Swim Foundation accepts donations of any amount toward this fund. Your donation helps make college a reality for a Swimmer Scholar who might not have had an opportunity to pursue the dream of attaining a college education.
All donations are 100% tax deductible.

Sponsor a Swimmer Scholar
The Trident Swim Foundation also offers the ability for donors to sponsor a year of services for a child. The cost of sponsoring a Swimmer Scholar for a year is $2,000, which helps provide tutoring, coaching, college counseling, SAT prep, swim meet equipment and food. The Trident Swim Foundation makes a real difference in the lives of its Swimmer Scholars, and Scholar sponsorship is of the utmost importance. The Trident Swim Foundation is financed by the generosity and support of our sponsors and donors.
