About The Trinity Preparatory School of Florida:
Trinity Preparatory School is an independent, coeducational college-preparatory school that develops ethical, resilient leaders who thrive in the pursuit of excellence, embrace diversity in thought and perspective, and grow spiritually. In alignment with our mission, we affirm our commitment to our core values: Trinity Family; Educational Excellence, both Academic and Extracurricular; Leadership and Character Development; and Faith and Spirituality.
In 1968, a dedicated group of Orlando community leaders led by the late Reverend Canon A. Rees Hay wanted to provide a quality, independent secondary education for students in Central Florida. As a result, they established Trinity Preparatory School in grades 6 through 12. Affiliated with the Episcopal Church, the school welcomes families and students from all faith traditions, cultures, and backgrounds, knowing that we are all enhanced by diversity.
Our devoted and notable faculty and staff are leaders in their field who share their knowledge and expertise with others at various professional development opportunities worldwide. Their dedication is demonstrated to our students, families, and communities both in and out of the classroom with a balance of academic rigor and wellness. Trinity Prep’s student body and families reflect the world as they travel from the greater Orlando area and across the nation to take part in the Trinity experience.
As a Member of the Athletic Department:
Our primary commitment is to provide an opportunity for student-athletes to fully develop their academic and athletic potential. Through practice, training and competition, the department strives to instill in each student-athlete: good sportsmanship and personal integrity, loyalty to the group and the ability to function with others as a team, appreciation for the benefits of hard work, motivation and perseverance in both winning and losing situations, and pride in accomplishments gained through fair and honest means.
We strive to generate pride and enthusiasm in students, alumni, and the community which Trinity Prep serves. All Trinity Prep coaches are expected to embrace the school’s philosophy of encouraging students to participate in multiple sports teams at Trinity, rather than focusing on one sport and playing it year-round. As a coach, your responsibility is to help develop a well-rounded student-athlete with balance and objectivity.
Trinity Prep Aquatics Swimming Program:
Trinity Prep Aquatics (TPA) was formed in 2000 under the auspices of Trinity Preparatory School in the Greater Orlando area. Trinity Prep Aquatics was formed from the prior team, Trinity Aquatic Team, that operated out of Trinity Preparatory School. Athletes and coaches from Trinity Prep Aquatics have achieved the highest levels of success at the Olympic Games, USA Senior Nationals, NCAA Championships, and USA National Team.
TPA is a family-oriented recreational and competitive team, dedicated to excellence at all levels—coaching, techniques training, and facilities. Swimmers can train year-round at one of our groups. All groups swim in the state-of-the-art 50-meter pool at Trinity Prep and each group has its practice times and schedules.
TPA is a member of Florida Swimming, Inc. which is a division of United States Swimming. Florida Swimming is one of 95 Local Swim Committees (LSC) that implement USA rules at the local level. Florida Swimming develops a calendar of swim meets each year, and TPA swimmers compete at meets selected by the coaching staff.
