Summer Fitness [Period 2, Friday]

[doubleohblonde]

The class had been handwavily informed to meet at the pool this class, where they would have found Bond doing laps as he waited for the class to arrive.

"Good morning class," he started, emerging from the water to address them. "I trust you all remembered to bring your bathers like my email said? Good, now as you've probably all guessed, today's class will involve swimming, so first things first, I would like everyone who feels confident in their swimming abilities to go to my left and those who don't to go to my right."

After the groups had sorted themselves, Bond started by addressing the group on his right. "You, I would like to go get changed, and then to come back here to observe your classmates while they finish the first exercise," he said before turning to face the others. "You, I would like to make your way to the deep end of the pool, get in, and swim to the shallow end." He paused to make sure the part where they would be fully clothed while doing this had sunk in. "Then you can go get changed into your bathers. Those of you with powers are not to use them, and I will be watching in case any of you get into trouble.

"After you've finished that, we can get properly started."

Good swimmers to the left, those not so sure to the right!

Johnny moseyed on over to the left.

Cal was actually a pretty good swimmer, but that didn't stop him from heading distinctly and without hesitation to the right. The less swimming he had to do, the better, and he was still switching his weight a little nervously about it. He stretched his arms a lot, trying to feel the muscles he'd been building up around his chest to hide it.

Andros was fairly confident with his swimming ability so he went over to the left.

Sam hesitated, then remembered that Mr. Fitness Instructor Crazy Man was crazy and headed to the right, as he was afraid of whatever he was going to make the good swimmers do.

Ronan headed to the left without hesitation. Taking in the Ocean tended to leave one with a strong understanding of water, in any form, and he'd always been fond of swimming anyway.

Toby was torn. There were hot guys going both ways...he went to the left after some hesitation.

Cassandra eyed Bond suspiciously before shrugging to herself and moving over to the left. She was sure he was up to something.

Teyla had practice at swimming, so she decided to go to the left.

Reno took to the water like a fish.

In that when he went under, he'd probably never come up again.

And so, to the right he went.

Harry went left. Harry was going to regret going left very shortly, but Harry didn't know that before he made his decision.

Go change, then come back and watch (and mock or ogle if you're so inclined) the lefties.

Leftt Hand Group! - SF [Week 2]

Into the water with you!

Bond will make sure you don't drown if you find your swimming ability isn't so great when you're dressed.

A bit surprised that they were being made to swim with their clothes on, Johnny raised his brows but didn't comment. He walked to the deep end and dove in, swimming towards the shallow end without any problem other than perhaps being a touch slower than usual.

Re: Leftt Hand Group! - SF [Week 2]

The black shirt he was wearing was fairly tight, although not skin-tight, and quite light; as such, it barely impacted his ability to move his arms, even when it was wet. His jeans, however, created rather a lot of drag, and definitely slowed down his kicking. As such, Ronan struggled a little bit along the pool, relying almost solely on his arms to propel him; still, once he found his groove, he actually discovered he rather liked the extra challenge. Swimming-while-clothed wasn't something he'd do for fun, but it wasn't bad for something a little extra when swimming to work out.

Toby'd never really swam with clothes on, but it was a lot like rolling on the beach just without the beach part.

Emerging from the water, he shook his head in slow motion, water flying everywhere, his tight shirt clinging wetly to his chest and his pants dragging. Oh, was he supposed to be doing something?

Re: Leftt Hand Group! - SF [Week 2]

[iseewhatyoumean.livejournal.com]

It was Cassandra's habit to wear relatively tight and light clothes because, really, you never knew when you'd have to fight someone. That and the fact that swimming with clothes on had been part of her training made it rather easy for her to make it across the pool.

Eventually it would dawn on her that the shirt she was wearing was both light cotton and white.

Teyla was thankful that she had dressed in fairly comfortable clothing for class. She still didn't enjoy getting everything soaking wet though, especially when her clothes clung to her as she got out on the other side.

Re: Leftt Hand Group! - SF [Week 2]

This would be where the regretting of the decision to go left came in. Oops. Still, if nothing else Harry was stubborn. So he got in anyway and started swimming. The stubbornness was probably the only thing that kept him going to the other end of the pool. Pay no attention to the boy clinging to the far wall like his life depended on it. His life didn't actually depend on it. Drowning while standing up in the shallow end when you're as tall as Harry would be a neat trick.

Whole Group Swimming! - SF [Week 2]

After everyone had finally changed into their swimsuits and gotten in the pool, Bond demonstrated a number of strokes for the class to try out.

Dog paddle
Front crawl
Backstroke
Breaststroke
Butterfly

[They're swimming across the pool, rather than along it, so your character can stick to a depth that they feel comfortable with

After changing out of his wet clothes into his trunks, Johnny stuck to the deep end and worked on his backstroke and breaststroke, while occassionally admiring the pretty.

Goof Off! - SF [Week 2]

[doubleohblonde]

After everyone's attempted the various strokes they can pretty much slack off while Bond looks after those who want more help with their swimming.

Just don't be stupid and do something dangerous, or you'll be slapped with an automatic detention.
