The Boston College Swim and Dive team is making a splash in the fight against cancer.

Boston College swimmers hosted an inaugural Swim Across America event, turning daily training into a fundraiser supporting local cancer research and treatment.

“I might as well swim for a good cause if I am going to be swimming," said Chloe Otten, a sophomore.

Boston College football head coach Bill O'Brien shared that he will be calling plays this season after the departure of Will Lawing to the NFL.
