The Swim Team

This image was captured at the Rochester Institute of Technology's annual Mud Tug event, where students battle each other in a tug of war in a gigantic mud pit. When it was time for the university's Swim Team to compete, they arrived wearing speedos, adding an even further bizarre quality to the strange event.
