Another Successful Session of Swim Lessons

For the second time this year the Bantams provided swim lessons over a five week period to children of Trinity College staff and faculty. The bantams previously held lessons last September and October. In this Springs' session enrollment was up over 25 percent with 100% of the children who participated in the Fall Lessons signing up again in the Spring, a true testament to the quality of instruction provided by our wonderful team. The Bantams will hold another session of lessons when the team returns to Campus in September. All lesson proceeds help to pay for the team's winter training trip.

Mac McCarthy Stars In Next To Normal

Sophomore diver, Mac McCarthy, starred in Next to Normal, a three time Tony award winning musical. It is a what is considered a rock musical, and its story concerns a mother who struggles with worsening bipolar disease and the effect that her illness has on her family. The musical also addresses such issues as grieving a loss, suicide, drug abuse, ethics in modern psychiatry, and suburban life. McCarthy said, " I enjoyed playing the role and I think it is an important play to perform, but it is also emotionally taxing: the lead actress said she started to spontaneously cry all weekend." Having seen the performance it was incredibly emotional and Mac was amazing in both his vocality and acting. His talents clearly go beyond just his abilities on the board and in the pool.
