Tom Hodgson Swimming and Diving Endowment Fund
Tom Hodgson served as the coach of the St. Thomas Swim & Dive Teams for 35 years before transitioning the program to current Head Coach, Scott Blanchard, in 2014. Tom left many traditions and memories that will stay with the Tommie Swim & Dive team forever. His teams were known for their culture and "Family" identity, a term coined by the student-athletes after he initiated co-ed practices in January 1981.
The 2022 St. Thomas Athletics Hall of Fame inductee coached more than 100 MIAC champions, produced 46 All-Americans, and was named MIAC Coach of the Year seven times.
After he retired, the Hodgson Swimming Family Endowment was created for the express purpose of enhancing the student-athlete experience for members of the St. Thomas Swimming and Diving Team. Funds raised through this effort help support Tommie Swim & Dive by offsetting expenses that are above and beyond the program operating budget.
