Phys Ed; Friday, Third Period [02/03[.
Hopefully, everyone in the class remembered what Gladio had definitely, absolutely, trust me said last week about coming to class this week with swimwear if they had it, and that he'd make sure they had an option if they didn't, and he also hoped that that meant none of them would be particularly surprised when they were redirected to the Danger Shop, set up to look like a nice, big indoor pool.
He'd considered using the pool at the gym, really, but it was kind of nice to lean on the Danger Shop and not have to worry about any kids drowning due to lack of experience or lack of common sense. This batch, however, seemed pretty good with that kind of thing, but, still...
"Alright," Gladio, clearly ready to get into the water himself with his swim trunks, clapped his hands together, "if you're not already suited up, hit the locker rooms and get ready, because today we're tackling swimming. If you don't already know how to swim, don't worry, we're going to go over it, and if you do already know how to swim, then we'll be doing a quick overview of the basics, just to refresh you, and then we'll just sort of go from there. I got a couple of activities that'll suit a variety of skills based on where you guys are at, but swimming is not only a great way to get in a good workout, but it's also a lot of fun, too, and something I hope you guys'll get a lot of mileage out of, once the weather starts to warm up. And, speaking of warming up, we'll want to do a little bit of that, too, before we get in, because there's nothing worse than a muscle cramp mid-stroke. So let's take a few moments to get ready, and then let's jump on in."

Listen to the Lecture - Phys Ed, 02/03.
If you already feel like you're a pretty good swimmer, well, then, tough luck, you'll still have to sit through the introduction because it never hurts to go over the basics, and then you'll get to go hog wild out there in the pool.
Class Activity: Pool Time! - Phys Ed, 02/03.
If you're still learning or completely new, stick with Gladio and he'll help you practice and get comfortable with the swimming.
If you're already pretty experienced, there's a few things Gladio would like you to choose from for the rest of your class: go ahead and swim laps on the sectioned out part of the pool for that or partner up with your classmates to run some races. There's also a diving board, if you wanted to do a little bit of that, plus there are actually some of those weighted toys scattered around the bottom of the pool, and you can challenge yourself or your classmates to see who can collect the most.
Since it's a small class (and in the danger shop), Gladio's definitely not worried about keeping an eye on everyone as they go about various swimming activities.

She decided to have a go at swimming laps first and then after a while decided to have a go on the diving board.
