Two swimmers. Two states. One summer that changes everything. Danny Boyle (17, Jersey Wahoos) has the talent. Rachel Frederick (17, Team Greenville) has the drive. They meet at a swim meet, exchange one awkward glance, and spend the next three months texting. By the time they finally meet for real at the NCSA Summer Championships, they're already falling. But with a boyfriend in the way, a Nationals meet in California, and college decisions looming, Danny and Rachel have to figure out if what they have is worth the distance - or if it's just a summer thing. Fast Lane is a dual-POV YA sports romance about first love, fast times, and the summer that changes everything.

Michael and Sebastian met during swim. Both manifested recently, Sebastian being an alpha, and Michael being a beta. Their friendship has continued, despite only seeing each other during the winter swim season. Michael says he has an online girlfriend, and when Sebastian sees her, they both fall immediately. As the romance between the three blooms, they realize the real thing holding each other back. Time passes, feelings blossom, and confusion bubbles. Will they end up together, or will their whole relationship end up in shambles? Only time will tell. authors' note Chat this is a fic about my friends with a very homoerotic relationship (dw both consented to making this fic lmao). Me and a few of my friends made this, and we are all working hard to make this actually readable. I'll be posting some of the drawings my friends do, so be ready for those :) This is an omegaverse fic, so if that makes you uncomfortable leave now! Light smut, light angst, meant to be taken very lightly. I'll post the ao3 link in the updates chapter, as well as any drawings my friends do. Hope y'all enjoy!

Early retired swimming athlete, Malaika, returns to swimming as she lost her academic scholarship for school. Alongside that, she caught her boyfriend cheating with a bimbo on her school trip AND she set the school cafeteria kitchen on fire. For a sports scholarship to her new school, she works hard to get in shape over summer break and gets a job at a local café to pay the bills. Clouded with stress, she meets a cute boy her age offering swimming tactics and a break from reality. But she doesn't know the danger he brings.

Cool. Popular. Awesome. For Jenny Baker, those words don't mean fun. They mean survival. To protect herself from the brutal hallways of Oakwood high, Jenny joins forces with the ruthless queen bee Alisha. But high school popularity isn't free. The price? Your integrity. Your safety. And your secrets. When Alisha forces Jenny into a criminal stunt, the guilt begins to physically tear Jenny apart. Her only escape is the school pool, where a genuine new friendship with a girl named Anika offers her a lifeline. But Alisha doesn't take rejection lightly. As psychological manipulation escalates into a near-fatal pool assault and a devastating car crash, Jenny's small town is shaken to its core. Time is running out, sirens are echoing through the streets, and Jenny must face down her fears to expose the truth-before someone else pays the ultimate price. Sometimes, the most heroic thing you can do is stand up, walk away, and say goodbye. (Wrote with 3l0d13.)

Max Petrauskas is the only Bolles Shark going to Orlando. He qualified for NCSA. His team didn't. So they're all coming anyway - Krish, who won't stop making jokes. Shoesmith, who won't stop being right about everything. Allison, who's already organized the whole trip. And the rest of them, holding up a sign that says SHARK BAIT.

Then she tells Max he's blocking her lane. 🦈 Over five days in Orlando, two swimmers from rival clubs go from strangers to phone numbers to the kind of texting that makes a person's mom ask who's on the phone. And through the rest of the year - through Nationals in Irvine, through a summer camp in Colorado Springs where they finally almost say it out loud - they have to figure out what they actually are. 400 miles apart. Two different clubs. One very long group chat. The only thing harder than a 200 butterfly is being seventeen. - 🏊 What to expect: • Alternating POV (Max 🩵 / Sherya 💙) • Friends-to-lovers, slow burn, long distance • Swimming meets, taper chaos, relay DQs • Found family, terrible jokes, Waffle House at midnight • A boy who says "cool" when he means everything • A girl who makes a plan for everything except him Updates on Wednesdays, Fridays & Saturdays. Comments keep me alive.

Two states. Two sports. Three girls. One unforgettable year. Riya and Nithiya Shankar are identical twins who share everything-except the boys they're falling for. As competitive swimmers for NASA Wildcat Aquatics, they're chasing Junior National cuts while navigating the chaos of junior year, first kisses, and the terrifying question of what comes next. Twelve hundred miles away in Austin, Emily Donahue is a Minnesota walk-on fighting for her place on the University of Texas soccer team. With her dreams bigger than the stadium she plays in, she's about to discover that belonging isn't given-it's earned. They don't know each other. But they're about to learn the same lesson: The water doesn't care about crushes. The field doesn't care about doubts. Only the brave dive in. From the NCSA Spring Championships in Orlando to the Speedo Junior Nationals in Irvine, from prom night to SEC showdowns, Ripples & Goals is a heart-pounding, laugh-out-loud journey through love, ambition, and the beautiful chaos of becoming who you're meant to be. Perfect for fans of Never Have I Ever and Big Shot.

At Ashbourne University, everyone knows where the lines are drawn. Between power and privilege. Between ambition and obsession. Between the people you're expected to be and the person you actually are. Aarohi Oberoi knows how to win-until she doesn't. Mihir Malhotra has spent his entire life being untouchable. They were never supposed to become anything more than rivals. But somewhere between Sunday dinners, crowded university corridors, and the silence of the swimming lanes, the lines begin to blur. And once you cross one... There may be no going back.

Seventeen-year-old Elise Tan has spent her entire life in the water. Five AM practices. Two-a-days. Weekends sacrificed to the pool. As a junior at Corona del Mar High School and a member of Irvine Novaquatics, she's trained her body to endure the impossible - to keep going when her lungs burn and her arms scream and every part of her wants to quit. She never imagined that training would save her life. August 2026. After a breakthrough performance at Junior Nationals, Elise and her best friend Sofia celebrate with a trip to Las Vegas - a weekend of concerts, neon lights, and one last taste of normalcy before senior year. Then the outbreak begins. At the NE-YO & AKON concert, the MGM Grand Garden Arena becomes ground zero. The infection spreads faster than the music can stop. Elise, Sofia, and Sofia's younger sister Maddy barely escape the arena with their lives. The Strip is a war zone. The hotels are death traps. The Convention Center - the city's designated evacuation point - becomes a pressure cooker of desperation, overcrowding, and violence. Elise has one advantage: she's a swimmer. She knows how to hold her breath. How to stay calm under pressure. How to move through water silently. How to endure pain and keep going. But surviving the apocalypse isn't a race. It's an endurance event. And the finish line keeps moving. With a small group of survivors - teammates, rivals, strangers - Elise must lead them through a broken city toward the mountains. Toward safety. Toward hope. But in the deep end, there's no touching the wall. There's only swimming.

Ayumi is a seventeen-year-old professional swimmer. She was born to swim. She could swim before she could walk. While training in her school's pool, she feels a sudden, terrible pain in her chest. Her body sinks beneath the surface. 'What's happening?!' One of her classmates pulls her from drowning, but she's left terrified. The water paralyses her now. Even taking a bath makes her anxious. Her passion has become her worst nightmare. She starts to wonder if life is still worth living, until the day she meets Kano, a merman. She's drowning in darkness. He shines like light. She hates the water. He was born in it. She's down-to-earth. He's a dreamer. She's afraid. He's fearless. Together, they intend to bring Ayumi back to swimming.

𝐉𝐎𝐄𝐘 𝐋𝐘𝐍𝐂𝐇 has nothing. Somehow, he still manages to feel everything. Every thought comes too loudly, every memory leaves its fingerprints, and every wound he has spent years pretending doesn't hurt seems to find a way back to the surface. He grew up too quickly, learned too young that loving people sometimes means protecting them from the things they should never have had to survive, and somewhere along the way, forgot that he was allowed to be a boy instead of a shield. There is always something waiting to break inside him, and Joey has become very good at breaking himself first. So when the noise becomes unbearable, he reaches for the one thing that knows how to make it stop - 𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘢𝘥𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯. 𝐂𝐀𝐃𝐄𝐍 𝐅𝐎𝐋𝐄𝐘 has everything. Somehow, he still manages to feel nothing. At least, that's what he tells himself. He has learned how to disappear inside his own skin, how to smile when he wants to scream, how to make everyone believe he is fine because being honest would mean admitting just how badly he isn't. When numbness becomes too much to bear, he searches for something that will remind him he is still alive, 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘯 𝘪𝘧 𝘪𝘵 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵𝘴. They share more than either of them would ever willingly admit: self-destructive tendencies, an almost suffocating protectiveness over the people they love, families that taught them how easily love can become responsibility, parents who left wounds where safety was supposed to be, and a darkness that has spent years eating them alive from the inside out. They know what it is like to carry everyone else's pain while pretending their own doesn't exist. They know what it is like to be young and already exhausted. They know what it is like to look at yourself and wonder how much of you is still there beneath everything that has happened. Caden isn't going to save Joey, and Joey isn't going to save Caden. They are far too

Hay personas que llegan a tu vida por casualidad. Y luego está él. Himari Kurosawa jamás quiso dejar Kamakura. Mucho menos empezar de cero en un país donde todo era diferente: el idioma, las costumbres, el colegio... incluso las personas. Cuando su familia se muda a Corea del Sur por el nuevo trabajo de su tío Takumi, lo único que espera es terminar la preparatoria sin llamar la atención. Pero sus planes desaparecen el mismo día en que conoce a Minho, un chico tan talentoso como insoportable. Él parece estar en todas partes. En el salón de clases. En la academia de natación. En el escenario de baile. Y, para colmo, sus familias terminan acercándose más de lo que cualquiera de los dos quisiera. Lo que comienza como una competencia por demostrar quién es el mejor pronto se convierte en algo mucho más difícil de entender. Porque, mientras ambos intentan ganarle al otro, también empiezan a descubrir que las primeras impresiones no siempre cuentan toda la historia. A veces, el lugar donde menos esperas sentirte en casa... termina siendo una persona.

Josie Smith has run the Redbrook pool deck for five summers, and the coveted Deck Captain pin is finally within her grasp. But just as the season kicks off, Eli Miller arrives. Armed with an easy grin, a higher-level safety certification, and the uncanny ability to get under Josie's skin, he is everything standing between her and the promotion she has staked her summer on. As the heat rises, professional rivalry dissolves into unspoken glances, synchronized rescues, and quiet moments on late-night closing shifts. When Redbrook's rigid pool politics test them both, Josie must decide what matters more: holding tight to the control she has always fought for, or letting herself jump in. A heartwarming, slow-burn summer romance packed with small-town charm, witty workplace banter, and the vulnerability of learning to share the deep end.

Pete's story begins with him as a quiet, unassuming boy, entering the hallowed halls of his new senior high school with a mix of trepidation and careful curiosity. His wire-rimmed prescription frames, later so iconic, were already firmly settled, casting his brown eyes in a reflective clarity as he absorbed his surroundings. Dressed in the school's formal, dark wool dress uniform-the standard academic shell-he appeared to be just another unindexed file within the system, a freshman component waiting to be registered. On his first morning interval, amidst the chaotic geometric matrix of hundreds of students navigating the corridors, Pete's focus was already split. His long, thin fingers were meticulously guiding a mechanical drafting compass across a clean parchment sheet, capturing the load-bearing parameters of the complex's gothic architecture. Even as he sat beneath the cold, clinical glare of the campus halogens, his quiet, calculating soul was cataloging the physical environment with the same structured logic that would later define his survival. The presence of the varsity line, the corrupt real estate grants, and the water's ancient curse were still invisible variables to him, but the core script of his analytical nature was already fully operational. He was a perfect component, primed to observe and neutralize any impending diagnostic anomalies that city hall might execute.

Helpers became hunters. Servants became executioners. As New York City falls and androids stalk the ruins of America, Stephanie discovers that her swim training is the only thing keeping her alive-lung capacity, ice-cold endurance, and the unbreakable bond with her LIAC teammates.

Their mission: reach the coast, cross the Atlantic, and find refuge in Germany-one of the last safe havens on Earth. But the road is a nightmare. Androids hunt by sound and heat. Trust is a luxury.

In a world where humans are obsolete, can a team of swimmers outswim extinction?
