The Rizal Memorial Swimming Pool is set to host the UAAP Season 78 Swimming tournament, which starts today at 8am and lasts until the end of the week.
Ateneo is set to defend its triple crown this season, having been the dominant powerhouse in the boys' portion of high school swimming for the past decade, while having success in the collegiate ranks.
The Blue Eagles, who are seeking their third title in four seasons, are led by Season 77 MVP and veteran international tanker Jessie Khing Lacuna, team captain Axel Ngui, and Season 77 Rookie of the Year Aldo Batungbacal.
The Lady Eagles, who are seeking a back-to-back nod after ending a six-year drought, are led by Season 77 MVP and veterna international tanker Hannah Dato, team captain Basille Uy, and Season 77 Rookie of the Year Ariana Herranz.
Lacuna and Dato each won seven gold medals last season, all of them in record time, on their way to being named as Ateneo's Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year.
Leading the charge in trying to topple these Blue Tankers are UP, UST, and La Salle, while National University is making its debut this season. UST is also the only non-Ateneo team holding a Season 77 swimming championship, thanks to its girls' division crown.
