Sophie threw her towel over her shoulder and hurried out the door. She quickly jumped into the car before the cold winter air could give her a chill.
Some genius decided to make swimming a winter sport. Thankfully, the pool was heated.
"Ready for tryouts?" Edaline asked.
"I'm ready," she said.
They drove to the Y and parked. Sophie kissed Edaline on the cheek and ran through the doors.
In the locker room, she noticed a text message. It was from Keefe, saying,
'Good luck, Foster. I believe in you!'
She couldn’t help giggling at it. She texted him back,
'Thanks. I'll let you know how it goes when I'm done :)'
She made it to the rest of the group trying out. Sophie lowered herself into the water. To her mercy, it was warm.
The coach had them do different drills. Breast stroke, back stroke, and freestyle. Then she had them do breathing exercises and had them practice holding their breath. After that, they did diving.
They were allowed to relax as the coach reviewed her notes. Sophie floated on her back. The peacefulness helped calm some of her nerves. She felt like she did well, but she wouldn't know for sure until the coach called her up.
The coach started to name the people off one by one. When it got to her turn, Sophie's knees shook.
"Hi," the coach said with a bright smile. She held out her hand.
Sophie shook her hand. "Hello."
"I'm glad to tell you that you've made the team!" She handed Sophie an envelope. "I have been notified of your health condition, so we can work on figuring out how to navigate that during the first practice."
"Yes ma'am," she told her. She took the envelope, which contained the paperwork, and headed to the car.
She waved the envelope at Edaline. Edaline grinned. "Great job, honey!" Edaline exclaimed. "I'm so proud of you."
"Thank you," Sophie giggled.
When they got home, she made sure to text Keefe, 'Hey, I made the team!'
He answered back after a few minutes with, 'Yay! I'm so excited for you!'
