The swim team has no male swimmer.

Coach Willis, an amazon of a woman who had been his PE teacher the last three years was also coaching the school's swim team. Well the female swim team to be exact. The school technically had a male swim team, but in practice no one had applied for it for 6 years at this point. With no members and no other applicants K-T should get in easily and could on a technicality be the best swimmer of his school on paper, no matter how bad he placed in competitions.

"Let me get this right. You of all people, want to join a non existent swim team to get points to be able to get to college. Despite the fact that you never competed in sports in your life and are a total slacker in class, which is why you are now looking for a trick to get out of this situation? " asked the coach when he explained his situation.

"That's about it. But you know, even if I'm not a pro I really like swimming and I swim pretty fast. I'm willing to give it my best to make it work. Plus since I'll be alone in my team I won't impact the rating of the girls, so there's no risk for you." he reassured her.

"You know, that you'll have to come to the training sessions 4 times a week and that if you slack or don't show you won't get any credit?" she asked.

"Yes, I'll be there every time."

"You'll also have to work out on top of that as well as shave or wax your whole body."

"Anything" he replied smiling.

Seeing as she couldn't discourage him with words alone, she relented.

"Come tomorrow at 4pm at the pool, in suit. I'll let you try. If I don't like what I see or your time, you're out."

"Thank you for the opportunity, coach!"

He was pretty sure that the whole shaving thing would only matter if he made the team and working out today would only tire him for tomorrow. So all he had to do was make sure to have some appropriate swimsuit. He hadn't used his school swimsuit since last summer and wasn't really sure where it was. He had a few swim trunks but they were made to wade water, not swim fast. And of course there were some of the ridiculous gifts from his aunt Jill, who knew if there was something he'd dare wear in public amongst them.
