Swim Across America Great Success

Last Saturday, July 14th, four members of the Bantam Swimming & Diving Alumni family carried on the tradition of swimming in the annual ocean-mile swim off of Nantasket Beach in Hull, MA for Swim Across America.  This SAA event benefits the Dana Farber Cancer Institute in Boston.  Each participant raises funds for cancer research, treatment, and support for survivors and their families.  The Nantasket Beach event raised a little over $60,000 and was a great success.  With donations still coming in, our Bantams have raised approximately $3,000 for the cause!!  Fantastic!  You make us proud!


Participants this year are pictured below:
