"The Iwatobi fest is the last chance we'll have to recruit new members. If we win the inner club relay, everyone is gonna want to join our team!" Gō said.
"Preferably people with beautiful muscles," I said.
"YEAH!" Gō agreed.
The running relay started, Haru was slow, Mako was good, Nagisa was great, but REI?! JEEZZZZUS! Thank you, Rei. We won the race.
"NO ONE IS HERE?!" Gō went totally insane, she couldn't stop whining.
"After all, we are still a swim club..." Rei said.
"We did the best we could! Besides, you know what happens today, right?" Makoto asked.
"Huh?" We all muttered out.
"They open the pool!" Makoto finished his sentence, more like answered his own question.
We stood by the pool, "Let's forget about the race, recruiting, and let's switch gears and focus on the upcoming district tournament! Be careful warming up." Makoto said.
"I SUCKKKKKK!!!!" Rei shouted.
"Rei, what the actual hell was that?" I asked.
"I know, I know."
"How is it even possible to sink like that?!" I said, nearly making fun of Rei trying out different swimming strokes, "Don't worry. Just keep trying," I smiled.
"Hey! You didn't suck! The form was great!" Nagisa reassured Rei.
"Take your time and relax! No sense rushing it okay?!" Makoto added.
"Rei..." Haru called for his attention, "If you don't want to swim other strokes, then there's no point in forcing yourself to do it. As long as there's one style that suits you, that's enough."
I went around the school, class by class, "I'm Y/n Tachibana, I'm the co-manager of the swim club. I'm here to show you two videos that I created myself," I smiled in front of every single class that day.
When the video was over, "Anyone have any questions?" I asked.
The most popular question is, "Did you really make the second video yourself?"
"Yes," I answered. "I practiced these clips with another swim team and I think they came out really well. So, I wanted to show you the first video which was of our school and then the second one with our favorite rivals."
"Who's the other team?" They'd ask.
"Samezuka Academy. We do joint trainings with them when we can. We're extremely close to a few people but everyone on their team, out of the water, are friends."
"Do you swim as well?"
I'd answer, "I used to. According to every person I've met, I'm famous among the swimming community. Now, I just train the ones in our club as well as co-manage the team," I smile.
"Famous?! Do you have a nickname?!"
"Actually," I'd laugh, "I do. It's silly. They'd call me the Queen Marlin."
"Why that name?" They'd ask.
"Because of Black Marlins. They are the fastest sea animals with their highest speed documented at 82 miles per hour. I basically just swim fast. Still to this day I've been unbeatable. So, if anyone wants to race me, be trained by me, or take bets, meaning if you race me and lose you've gotta join. I'm all here for it."
"Are females able to join?"
"Everyone is able to join. You don't even have to know how to swim! We'll teach you. One of our members was unable to swim and he's one of our best swimmers now. It's up to you. We meet at the xx room in the xxxxx building. Talk to your friends and family about it. It's great being in the water at this time of year, too."
