Trinity Swimmers And Divers Help Fight Cancer In Swim Across America


Hull, Mass. - On July 18, the Trinity College Bantam swimming and diving family participated in a one-mile open water swim off of Nantasket Beach in Hull, Mass.  Trinity team participants have raised close to $12,565 for the Dana Farber Cancer Institute and the total for the NESCAC teams that also participated in the event was 30,629.  Mike Lenihan '07 swam in both the Boston Harbor 22-mile relay swim the day before and the one-mile swim at Nantasket Beach.  Lenihan has been doing double duty for several years and was the catalyst for getting Trinity and ultimately NESCAC involved in this incredible event.
