PITTSBURGH-In one of its many act of community service, the University of Pittsburgh swimming and diving team held a free swimming clinic on Saturday, April 4, at Trees Pool for members of the Sarah Heinz House.

The event was organized by former Pitt swimmer Craig Peterson (1997-2000), the current Sarah Heinz House head coach. The clinic gave local children the opportunity to learn about the sport and spend some time with current members of the Pitt swimming and diving team.

Participating in the clinic were freshman Tamara Lelli, sophomore Jason Erdeljac, juniors Justin Corvin, Sophie Cross, Allie Horvath, Tiffany Malatesta, Geoff Morgan, Beth Newell and Charlie Zettel and senior Jonathan Buchanan.

The Sarah Heinz House is a Boys and Girls club location that was founded by Sarah Heinz to serve the families of Heinz company employees. The Sarah Heinz House provides educational and recreational services, as well as meals, for local members, all of which is free of charge.
