Water Boys

2003–2004 · 2 seasons

A cheerful, good-natured school comedy where clumsy teamwork and earnest effort turn an oddball sport into warm, easygoing fun.

Overview: Water Boys is a Japanese television drama series aired in Japan on Fuji Television in 2003. There is a fairly large cast due to the amount of members in each team. There were 32 swimmers in this drama who were carefully chosen to fit their roles, but none of them had ever done synchronized swimming before.
