In a shocking turn of events, the local high school’s Girls’ Swim Team has reportedly refused to compete against a biological male swimmer, sparking a wave of controversy that has left the community in a pool of disbelief.

Dubbed the “Splashgate” scandal, the team’s decision to take a stand against what they perceive as an unfair advantage has sent ripples through the sports world. The male swimmer in question, affectionately nicknamed “Aquaman” by his teammates, has caused quite a stir with his unexpected desire to join the girls’ team.

The team’s captain, Lily Waters, addressed the media with a straight face, stating, “We’re all for inclusivity, but when it comes to swim competitions, we prefer our opponents to share our struggles against gravity, not someone who could literally make waves with a single stroke.”

The school’s administration, caught in the deep end of the controversy, is treading water cautiously. Principal Finley Shore attempted to smooth things over, assuring the public that they are taking the matter seriously.
