The Trident Swim Foundation (TSF) pairs athletic and academic concentrations to form a foundation for student success, before and after graduation from high school.
TSF’s Swimmer Scholar Program, a swimming and tutoring curriculum, is based on three core principals; Discipline, Self-Confidence and Teamwork. By emphasizing academics as well as training, the program teaches the Swimmer Scholars how to apply these same core principles to their lives in the classroom and beyond.
Trident Swim Foundation currently has a full Swimmer Scholar Program at the George Washington Educational Campus in the Washington Heights neighborhood in northern Manhattan.
