On this week's edition of The Dolphin Pod, co-hosts David Pizzuto and Nicholas Doran sit with Head Men's & Women's Swimming & Diving Coach Michael Ackalitis, who doubles as the school's Assistant Athletics Director for Aquatics.  Ackalitis talked about his start in coaching, trying to build the program, and the recent challenges he is facing thanks to COVID.  The group talked about the impact that building closures have on the physical and mental well-being of a swimmer, and how the team is making use of its time away from the pool.  The group saved time to talk about the future of the program at the college and what it holds for them at the NCAA Division II level.
