Swimmer Stories

Before the tripods, Jaime Irvine was just trying to drop a second off her 200 IM. She woke at 5:00 AM. She ate pancakes her mother made. She sat next to Lauren Aguilar in the cafeteria and complained about taper madness. She tied her hair only for races and wore her glasses everywhere else. She had a state championship. A swim banquet where she held Lauren's hand under the table. Three arcade outings that felt like forever. One night between prelims and finals where she sang karaoke and almost felt invincible. That was 2025. Summer 2026: The aliens don't care about her personal best. Three legs. Heat rays. Red weed in the Mississippi. Jaime and Lauren have one advantage: Jaime knows how to hold her breath. The Last Flip Turn is not a hero story. It is a survivor story. It follows two teenage girls through the ordinary wreckage of junior year and into an extraordinary nightmare. There are no generals, no speeches, no last-minute rescue. Only a swimmer, her best friend, and the slow, terrible realization that the only thing keeping them alive is everything they already learned in the pool. Breathe. Flip. Push off. Repeat. Inspired by War of the Worlds (2005).

They came to California to escape their lives. They never expected to run for them. Brooke Gonzales doesn't talk about her father leaving. She doesn't talk about her mother working double shifts. She doesn't talk at all - not really. She swims. The water is the only place her brain goes quiet. Sophia Lewandowski is the state champion everyone expects to succeed. Her Polish-American family has her future mapped out: pre-med, then medical school, then a respectable career. But Sophia has a secret. She doesn't want to save lives. She wants to live them. They meet at a California swim camp. They become friends over midnight dips and card games. They start to think that maybe - just maybe - they've found someone who understands. Then the ground opens. The tripods rise from the earth. Not from the sky. From beneath. Buried for centuries. And they are hungry. Now two girls who were just trying to survive high school must survive something much worse. Los Angeles burns behind them. The 405 is a graveyard. The ocean is red. And the only thing standing between them and death is a friendship forged in the deep end.

Swimmer Kim Su-young re-unites with her childhood best friend, Kwon Sun-ho after he leaves her. She finds it hard to befriend him again but eventually does. What happens if she falls for him?

Don't scream. Don't whisper. Don't breathe too loud. When the Death Angels fell from the sky, the world learned a new rule: sound equals death. Madeline Rowe, a 16-year-old swimmer from Plainwell, Michigan, learned something else. Underwater, no one can hear you. Underwater, you're safe. Now she's leading her best friend Kathy and her little brother on a desperate 10,000-mile journey to the one place the creatures cannot follow: Australia. But the road is silent. The cities are graveyards. And every step could be their last.

You've read The King's Mate? Now, let's dive into Maira's Story. Haven't you ever wondered about this princess' life after her mother died? You're about to find out.

They trained for speed. Now silence is the only medal that matters. Zoe Petersen lives for the roar of the crowd at state championships. But on June 18, 2020, the world goes quiet-forever. Blind creatures that hunt by sound turn every whisper into a death sentence. Stranded during a road trip with her two best friends Anita and Kreena in Colorado, Zoe must use her swimmer's instincts to survive. Water masks sound. Breath control saves lives. And the open road west is a gauntlet of broken glass, falling twigs, and the shriek of angels. Their only hope? Flee the mainland. Reach the islands. And pray the ocean is quiet enough.

Some races can't be measured in seconds. Divya Singh is a state champion swimmer from Katy, Texas, with her sights set on one more gold medal. A summer trip to Washington should be a victory lap before senior year-lake swims, cousin time, a chance to finally breathe. Instead, she finds herself in the shadow of a mountain that's waking up. When Cascade Peak erupts, Divya's world becomes a race of a different kind. Alongside her cousin, her best friends, and a retired volcanologist named Harry Dalton, she must navigate ash-choked roads, forest fires, and a landscape that's rewriting itself by the minute. This is a story about the moments between the medals-the fear, the love, and the quiet strength that emerges when everything you've built is tested by fire.

In a world filled with different human hybrids-flyers, runners, and swimmers-who are strictly separated, some individuals are against this separation. That's where Skye comes in. Skye is just an ordinary sixteen-year-old flyer who goes to school and struggles with drama (as all teens do). But maybe she's not. When what starts as a passion for hunting quickly escalates and things go horribly wrong, Skye is forced to navigate back home, meet new people of all different kinds, and realize: they have to do something about this. (NEW CHAPTERS EVERY SECOND WEDNESDAY AT 5:00 PM PST!)

Alex doesn't know her name. Sylvia has absolutely no idea why he keeps showing up. All he knows is that he wants to make her laugh-even if it means embarrassing himself in the process. A summer story full of awkward moments, quiet stares, stupid interactions, and dumb ways to fall in love.

You have qualified for the Olympics. You are far from home, having early graduated from your school, with a national representation credit card. There is an interesting boy at the arena looking at you. If you won't be in five minutes on the deck, your team might lose everything you have been fighting for. So what you are gonna do?

I am a synchronized swimmer. I have more muscles than most guys. I can swim 50 meters without breathing. I have insane back and leg flexibility. I constantly smell like chlorine and have countless bruises from getting kicked. I push myself harder every training and still get screamed at by my diabolical coach. Yet I have to deal with people telling me what I do is not a true sport. -Semibiographical short stories by yours truly, if you're curious about this strange, insane, and incredibly harsh sport.

As the star of Northwood High's swim team, he's a god in the water and a ghost on land-smelling of chlorine, expensive tobacco, and secrets that could burn the whole town down. He's untouchable, unreachable, and currently failing the one class that stands between him and a scholarship. ​When the principal forces Maya to tutor him, it's not just a clash of worlds. It's a chemical reaction. ​Between the sterile silence of the library and the humid, heavy air of the locker rooms, a dangerous game begins. Logan wants to see how far he can push the "perfect" girl before she cracks. Maya wants to find the boy beneath the scars and the cynicism. ​But in the hallways of Northwood, secrets are currency. And with Amber Thorne-the school's golden girl with a heart of ice-watching their every move, one wrong breath could cost them everything. ​In a world of static, they are the only thing that feels real. Even if it's a reality that's destined to go up in flames.
