Gifts to Swimming and Diving contribute to...
From Coach Paul Bennett:
We would like to return to a higher level of competitive capability. We will need to invest in more advanced training equipment as well as continue the camping trip and winter training trip. We aim to leave our graduates and their families with the knowledge that our athletes are fully supported and cared for while they are here and that they are members of something much bigger than themselves.
Thank you for believing that what we do is important and that the manner in which we do it makes a difference. Thank you for your generosity and for your ability to look toward what we could and can be and the support you are giving us with your donation.
From Student-Athlete Jack Duryea ‘25:
"The swim team takes pride in our athleticism, academics, and team culture. Because of support from the alumni and the WPI community, we are able to create a team atmosphere that helps develop successful student athletes who experience personal growth and also better others surrounding them. It means a lot to my teammates and myself to have this experience and the ability to pass it to new WPI swimmers."
From Alumni Athlete Tim McDonald '21:
"A donation to the WPI Swimming and Diving program is impactful in more ways than just one. Through donations received over the past few years, the WPI Swimming and Diving Team has been able to reestablish the annual camping retreat to Camp Frank-A-Day. This two day event creates a strong sense of community within the team at the beginning of the season. The weekend includes goal setting, team building activities, shared meals, and spent on the water."
Goat Nation, we’re speechless. Year after year, the Goat Nation Giving Challenge gets stronger and stronger, and this year, you’ve outdone yourselves.
Thanks to you, this has been our most successful campaign ever—by a long shot.

It simply means the world.
Stay tuned for our final results next week. Until then, know that we couldn’t be more grateful.
Thank you, Goat Nation!
