Outdoor Fitness and Strategy [Monday, Period One]

[doubleohblonde]

The class had handwavily received an email telling them to meet Bond in the Danger Shop today, and to bring along a set of bathers. So it really should have come as no surprise to them when they arrived to find it set up as a Olympic-sized swimming pool and their teacher clad in little more than swim-trunks and a whistle.

"Good morning class," he began, with a rather more serious mein than usual. "I realise that we're usually outside for class, but I have something planned for next week which has some pre-requisites we're going to be focusing on today."

"Before we begin, I would like you to place yourselves into one of three groups and to do it honestly. In one group I want those of you who either do not know how to swim, or who feel a lack of confidence in their swimming ability, in the next group I want those of you who do feel confident in your ability as a swimmer, and in the last group I want those of you who possess some kind of formal lifesaving qualification."

He waited for the three groups to sort themselves out before continuing. "Now, those of you in the first group, I'd like you to go down by the shallow end of the pool where I will join you shortly to take you through some swimming lessons. While I am doing that, those in the second group will practice some basic rescue and lifesaving skills required under the supervision of those in the third. I trust those of you in the second and third groups will behave in a responsible and mature fashion."

Get Changed - OFS [Week 6]

Into your bathers, which are hopefully less tiny.

Jonas hadn't ever had a need for a swimsuit but he'd purchased some upon arrival and was now wearing them. They were not small but they were bright yellow. So, he was one for two.

Rose's bathing suit was less tiny, yes, but it was still a two piece. Oops.

Sam's bathing suit was big enough to cover everything adequately, thank you very much.

Believe it or not, Robin had a bathing suit. It was bright blue, and came down to his knees.

Kyle decided during his time here that boardshorts, a perfectly acceptable type of bathing suit, were his preferred style.

Zayne had one pair of shorts from spring break last year and, fortunately, they allowed him to keep his modesty in class.

Shallow End - OFS [Week 6]

[doubleohblonde]

Ready to explain, demonstrate and provide physical support as handwavily or not handwavily as necessary, Bond was focused on getting the group though as many of the levels and exercises as was feasible.

Deep End - OFS [Week 6]

[doubleohblonde]

Meanwhile those in the deep end had both handouts and equipment to help them as they practised.

[Click on the PDFs at the link to get details of the kinds of exercises you're doing. Handwaving's fine, as is finding a partner in either group and taking turns at being rescuer and rescued.]

Talk to Bond - OFS [Week 6]

[doubleohblonde]

He's both wet and half-naked, so that won't be at all awkward.

Re: Talk to Bond - OFS [Week 6]

"I'm sorry about that whole being a bobcat thing, Mr. Bond," Rose apologised. "If it helps, I totally worked on my fitness a lot when I was pouncing on shi- stuff."

Possibly this apology was to see the wet and half-naked up close, but more likely not because that would be Inappropriate. And Rose never was Inappropriate.

Re: Talk to Bond - OFS [Week 6]

Kurt, not at all in anything resembling a swimsuit, walked up to Bond timidly. "Um... Mr. Bond, sir? I... I can't go in the water. I have a... skin condition."

He looked down at his watch nervously.

Talk to the TAs - OFS [Week 6]

[doubleohblonde]

Who may or may not also be wet and half-naked.

Re: Talk to the TAs - OFS [Week 6]

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

Rose was definitely wet and half-naked. She didn't mind it so much.

Re: Talk to the TAs - OFS [Week 6]

[weetinyreese.livejournal.com]

Kyle was wet too! He didn't mind getting wet so long as his feet could touch the ground.

OOC - OFS [Week 6]

[doubleohblonde]

Naked icons are somewhat redundant, BUT WE WANTS THEM ANYWAY PRECIOUS.

Re: OOC - OFS [Week 6]

[guardianborn.livejournal.com]

My only naked icon is annoying cause she looks all scared so have this one instead!
