A note from Coach Ryan...

Holiday greetings to all of the fans and friends of Trinity Swimming & Diving.  The fall semester has gone well - highlights included the Lake Travis 12-mile Open Water Relay, our men's team showing at the Pomona-Pitzer Invitational in November, both teams' terrific performances at the Dallas Collegiate Invitational just before Thanksgiving and the divers' exemplary performance at the Wabash Invite in December.  We weathered final exams and finished 2006 with another wonderful trip to La Loma in San Luis Potosi, Mexico.

We are about to begin session two of our winter training camp here in San Antonio.  The SCACs and the NCAAs are fast approaching, so there's lots of work left for us to do in the coming weeks.

Coach Randall, Coach Bos and I are excited about our upcoming championship meets.  We look forward to meeting and/or continuing to communicate over the next several weeks with those of you considering attending Trinity.              
We wish you all the best in 2007!

- John Ryan
Coach, TU Swimming & Diving

Major: Double Major in Biology & Spanish
 
Post-graduate degree obtained: Masters of Science in Psychology from the University of Louisville

Current Occupation: Research Technologist II, Kosair Children's Hospital, University of Louisville

Best TU Swimming memory: "...going to conference and performing well after a tough year of training.  It proved to me that all the hard work I put into the season really paid off." 

What was the best part of your time at TU? "...the small class sizes and the fact that the teachers were friendly, approachable and cared about their students."

How did Trinity prepare you for what you are doing now? "TU prepared me very well.  Had I gone to a public university, I don't think I would have been as prepared for graduate school as I was.  I learned so much in the classes at Trinity... more than I realized (at the time)."

Advice to prospective TU student-athletes: "I'm so grateful for swimming in college because it is now providing me with a skill that I use today.  I swim, run and bike... and am working toward excelling in triathlons."
