Coast Guard Academy Welcomes Class of 2022
Monday marked the first day for Swab Summer for the Class of 2022. Swab Summer is a seven-week traditional military indoctrination. It is designed to help young civilian students transition into the lifestyle of Coast Guard Academy cadets. The training process starts with general military skills and physical conditioning. The training continues with seamanship, swimming and academics.
"We are pleased and proud to welcome another outstanding group of new cadet-athletes to CGA who will no doubt be a very dynamic part of the class of 2022," said Tim Fitzpatrick, Coast Guard Academy Director of Athletics. "They bring an exceptional mixture of academic and athletic prowess to the academy, and also present a very impressive balance of ethnic and geographic diversity to the Corps of Cadets. Like previous classes of cadet-athletes who have matriculated to CGA, they will no doubt excel here and will become Leaders of Character who will one day serve our nation commendably as Coast Guard officers."
The overall Class of 2022 includes U.S. Cadets from 47 states plus China, the District of Columbia, Germany, Guam, Italy, and Puerto Rico.
The football team will kick off the 2018 athletic season on August 30th at home vs. University of New England with kickoff set for 7 p.m. before the men's soccer, women's soccer and volleyball teams open that weekend.
Below is the list of athletes by sport.
