"Hello, Iwa-chan," I said when I saw Iwa-chan appear on the meadow. "Hello," he replied. "So what do you want to do?" I asked. "I don't know," he responded. "Well, how about I teach you how to swim," I suggested. "I know how to swim, dumbass," he said. "I know but you can't swim that well," I replied. "No need to point it out," he responded. "Yeah sorry. I just want to help you," I said. "I know, sorry. Let's go," he replied. "Don't expect too much from me, I used to be scared of the water," he added. "It's okay," I responded. 

"Where did you get the trunks from?" he asked. "I just wore them, I don't know. I think they just appear if you need them," I replied. "Oh okay," he responded. The very next second, we both were wearing trunks. "I guess it worked," he said. "Yes and now let's go," I replied before grabbing his wrist and dragging him after me. 

"You're not scared of the water anymore, are you?" I asked. "No, I'm not," he responded. "Okay. Which swimming badge do you have?" I asked. "I think I have the seahorse one," he replied. "Oh okay. Well, I have the seahorse, bronze, silver and gold swimming badge and the lifeguard badges bronze and silver," I said. "Cool. Can you now help me improve my swimming?" he asked. "Okay. Let's go into the water first though," I responded. "kay," he replied. 

Once we were in the water, I realized that I didn't know what to do. How do you teach someone how to swim? Especially when they already know how to swim and just need improvement. I could just tell him how to improve his technique and let him swim a lot, that's how I improved. "So I have no idea how I should teach you how to swim so you will just swim and I'll tell you how to improve," I stated. "Okay," he agreed before he started swimming. 

"First tip, if you submerge your head on each stroke, you can swim faster," I advised. "I know that but do I really need to?" Iwa-chan asked. "Just do it," I said. "Fine," he replied. "Next tip, try to be as flat as possible. The more streamlines you are, the faster are you," I remarked. "Okay," he responded. "Close your fingers. The water shouldn't be able to flow through," I advised next. "Okay," Iwa-chan said as he did what I told him to do. "On each stroke, your arms must reach your legs. Don't stop halfway," I commented. "I'll try," he replied. "Don't try, do it," I said. "Fine," he agreed. 

For the rest of the night, Iwa-chan swam and I helped him to improve. At the end of the night, he swam way better than before. Sure, he needed more training and there were a few mistakes he did over and over again but that was okay. He would improve with time and soon I would be able to teach him other swim styles.
