ABOUT SAM

Sam Nakamura is a freshman on the Sierra Coast University (SCU) swim team from Brentwood, California, studying biology on the pre-med track.

Reserved and buttoned-up on the surface, with a dry, clinical curiosity underneath. He asks the questions other people keep to themselves.

"I'll try anything at least twice. Once to know if I like it, once to be sure."
