Trident Swimmer Scholars compete in the Public School Athletic League through out the school year.  The Prospect Heights team is celebrating some great swims after one of our last meets of the season.  All the hard work is paying off with swimmers that started the program unable to swim that are now competing in competitions.  Keep it up!

We had a great visit from a Trident Alum Pape on Tuesday.  He gave a great talk about transitioning to college, time management, the academic demands of college and his experience as a college student-athlete.  Great to see the success of our members of the Trident family. Keep up the good work Pape!

This year, with funding from the Heisman Trophy Youth Development Fund in New York, we are opening several Middle School Swimmer Scholar programs.  This week we opened our first program at Columbia Secondary School in partnership with the Y of Washington Heights & Inwood.  Happily, we also have hired our first Trident graduate, Johanly Sepulveda as the head coach of that program!  Johanly loves teaching and coaching inner city kids to love the water, especially in the same way he began his swimming career at our George Washington High School campus.

Finishing up their first whole season, Echo Park's program met with the second year of Inglewood's program.  Although they live in LA, many don't make it to the beach, and before they joined the Swimmer Scholar programs, they weren't water safe.  Now they can enjoy the beach and the water over the summer!

A big thanks to Tom Gleason from Google for hosting Trident Swim Foundation's tech-interested Swimmer Scholars at the NYC Googleplex!  Although the free, all-you-can-eat breakfast was a highlight, learning about all the different products and careers Google has to offer was voted most interesting.

Yaya Toure (backwards baseball cap) speaks to  Swimmer Scholars
Throughout each year, Trident asks our Swimmer Scholar graduates to come back and talk about their experiences at college.  During this year's end-of-year party at Pier i Cafe on the Hudson River, three graduates came and spoke.  

Yaya Toure talked about his freshman year at SUNY New Paltz and how he became ineligible for the swim team for a quarter when he lost focus on his grades - and then spoke about how he refocused and remembered everything Trident had taught him to get his grades up so he could swim again next year.  
Jeffrey Mena spoke about his graduation from Binghamton University as an Electrical Engineer, and how Trident's discipline enabled him to succeed in such a tough environment throughout his college career.  
Finally, Andres Rodriguez spoke about his first year at SUNY Potsdam, swimming on the team, and how important studying every day had been for him.  

It was a great end of our 8th year in NYC and always wonderful to see graduates from different years come back!  Big thanks to Lee Berman and Co-founder Kristin Gary for putting together a great event, and coaches Rob Garcia and Olga Kolvalkova and teacher Bethany Webber for doing such a great job with the kids this year!  Finally, thank you to Aquatics Director Ray Miller for steering the swim program in his first year with Trident - the results were incredible!
