Arguably one of the most horrifying sports traditions consists of handsome boys from the Seattle Prep Boys Swim Team bleaching their hair and running through public areas in speedos. Some may argue it is one of Prep’s best sports traditions. Despite this ongoing debate, it is undeniable that Boys Swim season has begun. This year’s squad is lead by Coach Leslie Lorenz. Coach Lorenz has served as the assistant coach for a couple of years and will now step up to the challenge of being the Head Coach.

Other leaders for the Boys Swim Team include senior captains Connor McKenney and Nate Miller. In addition, standout swimmers include juniors Alex Martin and Nolan Manning. The team will hope to develop a strong core of swimmers as well as display their skill and spirit for every meet. Also, the Boys Swim Team hopes to beat their rivals, Bishop Blanchet. Meets will be held every Friday starting December 5th. Nolan Manning ’16 commented on the season, “I am looking forward to the competition and having the opportunity to race alongside my fellow ‘Prepsters.'”
