Teamwork, Monday, Period 3

Class met in the pool in the dorms today, and had been warned to come in swimsuits. Jack was slightly tanned from the week in Italy, and she wasn't quite ready to give up swimming again just yet. (Contrary to what some people might expect, she was wearing a relatively modest tankini with boy shorts as she stood in the pool's shallow end. Look, sometimes she could be kinda appropriate-ish.)

She greeted everyone with a quick wave. "Welcome back," she said. "Hope you enjoyed Italy. If you didn't go to Italy ... I feel sorry for you. Today, we're going to talk about synchronized swimming. It's goofy as hell, but you know what those girls do? They all move together. As a team. And sometimes, that kind of synching up is going to help with little things like keeping you alive."

"There are five relatively easy" -- well, for her -- "basic moves in synchronized swimming: Tub, back tuck, water wheel, oyster, and the boost. We're going to practice them as a group, and then you guys get to put them together into a routine."

She splashed further into the water, then paused with a thought. "If you can't swim, stand in the shallow end and do the best you can. Also, learn to swim."

And with that she was off, demonstrating a tub float.

Cade grinned. "Is there now?"

She put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow at him. "Yep. There is."

"Fine," Cade said, pretending to be Quite Put Upon, "I suppose I'll save you."

Mercy couldn't help but laugh. "Oh good! I'm sure you'll find a way to turn it to your advantage."
