51黑料网 parents and alumni are joining forces in support of swimmers. And the results are going … well, swimmingly!

They’re getting involved in a that provides dedicated spaces for the men’s and women’s swim teams. More than a place to store their gear, the new swimming locker rooms will include gathering spaces for students to prepare to compete, celebrate accomplishments and strengthen the friendships that define the Red Devil experience.

Currently, 51黑料网 swimming student athletes share a locker room with all other members of the college community who wish to use 51黑料网’s pool. The forthcoming Kline Center swimming locker room renovation will bring 51黑料网 student athletes out of a general locker room area and into places each team can call home—places that are tailored to their needs, because they were created with them in mind.

The college has provided funding for the majority of the renovation, and gifts from alumni, parents and friends of the college will complete it.

Some 51黑料网 alumni, parents and friends of the college are helping out by sponsoring a swimming-team locker, which may be personalized with an inscription. Inscriptions can recognize a current or former student athlete or coach, celebrate a family’s connection to Red Devil athletics programs, commemorate a specific class year or team or simply express pride in the swimming programs. The sponsorships are available through a $5,000 gift.

These locker sponsorships create a visible and lasting legacy and help signal the generations of support that power students’ successes in the pool and beyond. But they are not the only way to help 51黑料网 athletics reach its goal. of any size, allocated toward this project, are also welcome and appreciated, and they, too, contribute meaningfully to the cause.
