Swimming Class

[Manfred Aachen]

Manfred rolled out of bed and glanced at the clock on his nightstand. Eh, a bit earlier than his alarm clock, but that was alright. He turned off the alarm and got out of bed, dressing quickly. He picked up his sunglasses and put them on, then looked over at the dogs, "Bis bald." He headed out of the door and into the crisp air.

He made his way through the gym to the pool deck. He ducked into the equipment room quickly and grabbed his clipboard with the roster, and then he stood for a moment, his eyes roving over the piles of equipment. Resolutely, he shook his head. He wouldn't use anything yet, today would be to see where everyone was. On his way out, however, he did grab a stopwatch and a pen, just in case. And, after all, the storage room was right there. He checked over the piles of goggles and swim caps he had brought, various styles and logos, just in case something happened or someone came without for some reason.

Finished with his planning, Manfred flicked off the lights and closed the door so it was almost completely shut. He walked over to the pool and sat on one of the blocks, waiting for his students to arrive. So much for lesson plans, who needed them? Swimming was a go with the flow sport, it would be a go with the flow class.

[Samantha 'Sam' Lawrence]

Sam woke up to a pup who was obviously trying to get her attention. "Alright I get it. Your hungry." She smiled as she put the pup on the floor of the dorm. She fed the anxious pup then looked at the clock. I've got time. There was about an extra fifteen to twenty minutes before she needed to pull herself together. This would be one of the first time she didn't have to dress like herself. She could be a bum. A tank top and her track pants where all she needed other than her gym bag. Time didn't tick fast while she dressed herself and brushed her hair.

She jogged down to the pool, where she saw a man sitting on the blocks. His supplies hinted that he was the coach, so she walked over to the man. "Change out?" She smiled at the man. Regardless of his response she was going to change out. Sam's feet slid towards the locker room. Where she slipped into her suit. She checked herself out in the mirror making sure nothing was twisted. Her hair was held up by a large brown hair clip. She despised the caps but she appreciated the cap also. With her cap in one hand and her other hand holding up her hair she entered the pool deck. She sat down on a block two away from the man, waiting for further instruction. She was tucked in with her legs up and her chin on her knee's.

Outfit

[Cortney Smit]

Cortney's hand wavered in the air before it slammed down on her alarm that was blaring in her ear. Sitting up she knew that she needed to get her act together so that she wasn't late for swimming.

Getting out of bed, she quickly slipped into her competition swimsuit and pulled a tracksuit over the top, this way if she was late, she wouldn't waste any time having to get changed. Grabbing her dance bag, that was already packed with the clothes she would need for that day, a towel and a water bottle, she slipped her feet into her favourite sneakers and left the room.

Jogging down to the gym, she headed down the hall toward the indoor pool, and entered the large room in time to see another girl walking away from Mr Aachen. "Good morning." She said softly as she walked forward and placed her swimming bag on one of the seats, pulled her towel out of it, stepped out of the tracksuit and wrapped the towel around herself as she waited to hear what they would be doing first.

[Nina Joel Dobrev]

Nina got up at the first sound of her alarm. She sat up in her bed and stretched her arms in the air. She then remembered today there was swimming class. She loved swimming and quickly got up to get ready.

She decided to wear her swimsuit under her and maybe just wear some sweatpants and a shirt over it. She slipped on her black and green stripe on the side swim suit, navy blue capri sweats, a white ruffled tank top, and her grey flip flops. She grabbed her silver speedo swim cap, towel, and speedo goggles in her gym bag. She put her phone and dorm keys in the bag as well. She then went to the bathroom and tied her hair in a kind of messy braid before she headed out to the gym

She slipped through the gym and over to the pool where she remembered last time, that they would start stretching out first before they head into the water. She spotted two girls already here as she entered the pool. She waved over to him as she walked over. "Morning, Manfred." She spoke to him in a excited voice. She then placed her bag in a seat like one of the girls did. She then stood waiting for instructions

[Henrietta Charleston]

Henri yawned; it was too early in the morning. Brass was even still snoring away next to her, his kitty dreams causing him to wiggle his little paw. She smiled at the cat before forcing herself to rise out of the bed and move toward the bathroom. For two minutes, the girl extensively brushed, then flossed her teeth, before moving to tie her hair up in a quick bun. It would be going in a cap soon anyway. Henri had done swim team back home in NJ for her sister’s private school. It probably was the only social interaction she had before she came to BRRA.

The girl then proceeded to undress and slip on her slim green suit. It fit her tight and well, allowing her to have a good swim with no drag. Henri found it impossible to swim with drag; it was just too much of unnecessary effort. Henri then proceeded to pull on sweat pants over the bottom, though she left the top alone. It wasn’t as if she was some prostitute. Henri then gave a goodbye kiss to Brass who only turned his head in response before going back to sleep. She scampered out the door and walked hurriedly to the gym, swim bag in tow.

As she entered the pool area, the familiar smell of chlorine hit her senses, causing her to breathe in deeply and smile. Swimming was definitely one of her great loves. The girl sighed and set her bag down gently on the benches before smiling at the others there. Fortunately for her, there were only a few others there. “Hello.” she turned her attention to the coach. “I’m a new student, so I may not be on your attendance list just yet, but I’m in this.” she explained before pulling off her sweat pants and grabbing her cap and goggles. Henri then stood patiently, waiting to hear what they would do. Excitement filled her insides, she loved to swim.

[selmalove]

Charlie got to the pool quickly that mornning. She was told that the swim class was to meet at the pool that fall morninng, and since she had signed up for the class, she was due to go also.

The teen found the big pool quickly and was not suprised to see that a few other girls had already been on the bench waiting for the swim class to start. She sat down on the bench also with the rest of the class and quickly pulled off her sweatpants and long sleeve t-shirt to reveal and nice purple coloured one-peice. Charlie also had a matching swim cap, of which she preferred not to wear, but knew it was best to wear one. She also had a pair of black Speedo googles.

Charlie got her attire properly put on before walking over to the man sitting by the pool. He held a clipboard with a peice of paper on it, as well a pen and stop watch. The sixteen year old had a feeling he was going to get them to swim laps and see how fast they are, but she didn't mind. "Excuse me, I may not be on the roaster, but I am Charlie Marrazzo and I am supposed to be in this class." Charlie told the teacher, giving him a welcoming smile as well.
