Our Swimmer Scholars had the chance to get some hands on experience in the BioBase Laboratory at Columbia University's Zuckerman Institute. A great day of working with research grade microscopes and conducting experiments on microorganisms. Thank you to Rob Frawley and the team at BioBus!

 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.
 For the first few years of the girl's PSAL team at GW, numbers hovered at around 10 but this year we have a big team that opened it's season with a strong win at their opening meet!
 The Great Relay LA will take place at the Culver City Plunge on Saturday, October 14th from 10 - 2...refreshments to follow at the City Tavern!
The Great Relay NYC will take place at Columbia University Dodge Aquatics Center, Sunday November 19th from 9 - 1pm...post swim refreshments to follow at The Heights!
 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!
