opportunities it provides out of the pool!”

“Having been an athlete my entire life, it’s always an honor to give back to the swimming world and support others in their goals, both in and out of the water. I support Trident’s mission to bring together the community with sports and studies 100 percent. I look forward to future involvement with the program and the Great Relay!”

"No matter where you come from, where your parents come from, what language you speak, in high school we are all figuring out where we belong in this world. We're searching for purpose. My parents were refugees in the early 80s and I felt like a fish out of water, until I found swimming. It gave me my friends. It taught me goal setting. It found me work. It found me a future. And it found me a coach who was always looking out for me. It created a path for me. And I think that's what is so incredible about the work Trident Swim Foundation is doing in the community. It's creating pathways. With more pathways come more possibilities. With more possibilities comes a more hopeful future."Adam Mania2004 Olympian |

"I
believe this is a great way to encourage fun competition in swimming
while still maintaining discipline, confidence and teamwork. You are
able to learn many lessons from swimming, which can carry over to school
and our daily lives."

"There are a lot of organizations that support swimming or academics.
Trident Swim Foundations is the only non profit where water safety and
education are paired simultaneously; you cannot succeed in one without
the other. They implement remarkable programs that help students be the
best they can be, in and out of the pool."

"Through the Swimmer Scholar program I learned how to excel academically and push myself physically. With the help of my Trident mentors and academic tutoring sessions, I was able to learn more about colleges and opportunities beyond high school. Trident also gave me my best friends who, after 10 years, I am still in very close contact with."

“Trident Swim Foundation is a family that helps you grow, surpass challenges, and pushes you to be the best you can be. Like family, they help you reach your goals because they want to see you succeed. Because of them I’ve learned to push through challenging moments to get to where I want to be to become who I want to become.”
