A Bit About......Trident Age Group Swimming

Since its establishment in 2014, Trident's swimmers have achieved State Records, National Ranking, World Ranking and even Olympic Trials berths. Over 60% of our graduating athletes have earned scholarships to swim at the NCAA level (nationally, only 7% of high school-aged swimmers earn the chance to swim at the college level). But our primary mission and greatest reward is helping to develop outstanding young people.  Swimming teaches us commitment, discipline, goal-setting, perseverance, leadership, how to deal with failure, how to be a great teammate, how to advocate for oneself, communication skills, time management. Ask any lifelong swimmer what impact this sport as provided their lives, college years, profession and family life.
