Bantams Raise Nearly 10K For Swim Across America

In what has become an annual tradition for the Trinity Bantams the team once again participated in Swim Across America. On July 16, the Trinity College Bantam swimming and diving family participated in a one-mile, open-water swim off of Nantasket Beach in Hull, Mass.  The Trinity team participants raised $9,925 for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the total for all teams that participated in the Boston event was $87,280.  Mike Lenihan '07 was responsible for getting Trinity and ultimately the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) involved in the annual event.  Trinity swimming and diving has raised more than $50,000 in six years for this cause.  

Below is a list of the participants from the Trinity swimming and diving program:
Katie Adams '14
