The University of Toronto Varsity Blues are excited to share the commitment of Lucas Lloyd-Bee to the men's swimming program for the 2026-27 season.

"I have chosen to continue my academic and swimming career at U of T because of its incredible campus, learning opportunities and tight-knit team," said Lloyd-Bee. "I am incredibly excited for this upcoming season and school year."

A 6-foot-1 distance freestyle specialist from Kitchener, Lloyd-Bee joins the Blues via St. John's Kilmarnock School and Region of Waterloo Swim Club.

Lloyd-Bee earned multiple medals at the Ontario Age Groups earlier this spring, collecting a silver in the 200 free and bronze in the 800 free. Most recently, at the Age Group International, he claimed first place in the 800 free and second in the 200 free. He has also competed at the Ontario Championships and Speedo Canadian Championships.

“Lucas is flying under the radar a little bit but we believe he will become a stalwart for us in the middle and distance freestyle events," said Varsity Blues swimming head coach Byron MacDonald. "Lucas has joined us for some recent training sessions because his home pool in Waterloo was suddenly shut down for emergency maintenance so I have seen first hand how well he handles the tough sets in workout. He has a very good upside and he has already reached the tough national qualifying time."

Lloyd-Bee has excelled academically receiving a number of subject awards and receiving academic excellence honours. He is set to study within the Faculty of Applied Science & Engineering at U of T, focusing on Chemical Engineering.

Students who sign a letter of intent and/or commit to Varsity Blues intercollegiate teams will be eligible to play at the University of Toronto provided they are academically admissible and have applied through the normal process with the Ontario Universities Application Centre.
