Swimming Stories

A swimming coach and a famous actor, tied together by an arranged marriage neither wanted. They expected chaos...not love. William fell first. Est fell harder.

Maia Santiago believes in plans. She colors her world in neat lines, maps her days down to the very last minute, and has known since she was twelve exactly where her life is going: straight toward medicine, straight toward UP Manila. There is no room for surprises. There is certainly no room for Alas Bueno-swimmer, dreamer, and the boy who keeps dripping chlorine water on her library books. Alas has belonged to the water since he was nine years old. It is the only place where everything makes sense. Until he meets a girl who quotes old books and sees straight through his easy smiles, finding the boy who is afraid of sinking just beneath the surface. Summer in Balingon was meant to be simple: study for exams, train for regionals, wait for the world to change. But when words begin to appear in the margins of pages, and hands find their way to rest gently against backs, two lives that were never supposed to fit together suddenly click into place. And slowly, they learn that perfect timing matters far less than perfect feeling. Because sometimes, the person who pulls you under is the very same one who teaches you how to float. Undercurrent is a story about love, letting go, and discovering that the most beautiful things in life are never written down on any schedule.

The Preview William Sterling builds monuments to order, glass, and expensive espresso. Est Steele builds monuments to... well, mostly cannonballs and neon-colored protein shakes. When the legendary Steele family commissions William's firm to build a multi-million dollar Aquatic Centre as a tribute to their Olympic legacy, it's a match made in architectural purgatory. Between William's obsession with structural integrity and Est's insistence that every hallway should be a slip-and-slide zone, the blueprints are getting messy. Add in two rival groups of best friends-one that thrives on spreadsheets and the other that hasn't worn a shirt since 2022-and you have a recipe for a project that might just drown before it even opens.

Est gave him everything without being asked. William didn't notice at first... until it began to matter. #williamest story

She survived the state championship. Now she has to survive the flood. Kelsey Li has spent four years becoming untouchable in the water. State medals. College commitment. A 200 IM that makes coaches cry. Ruth Wang has spent four years pretending she's not terrified of it. They've survived high school. They've survived Stoneman Douglas. They've survived the pressure of FHSAA States and the chaos of TS Aquatics practice. But when a Category 3 hurricane traps them in a flooded Naples rental, the real test begins. The water is rising. The gators are closing in. And Ruth can't swim.

Arianna Galletti has always found clarity in water-the clean slice of a dive, the rhythmic pull of freestyle, the muffled silence of being submerged. As a seventeen-year-old swimmer at George Walton Comprehensive High School, her world revolves around early morning practices with Ace Aquatic Club, the easy banter of teammates who've become family, and the steady presence of her twin sister Brianna. The fall of 2019 unfolds in the comfortable rhythms of school days, Halloween traditions, theatre rehearsals, and the building anticipation of the GHSA State Championship. But woven through these ordinary moments are the threads that will matter most when ordinary ends: friendships forged in chlorine and laughter, the wordless communication between twins, a body trained to move through water, and the instinct to hold your breath when the world goes quiet. June 18, 2020, changes everything. When the Death Angels descend on Atlanta, Arianna learns that survival isn't about strength-it's about silence. As the military crumbles and evacuation boats become the only hope, she must navigate her family through a world where a single sound means death. Their destination: any place where water meets land, where creatures that cannot swim cannot follow. From the chaos of the interstate to the desperate journey toward the coast, from the safety of an island sanctuary to the discovery that silence isn't the only weapon, this is the story of one girl's fight to keep her family alive. It is a story about what water holds-memories, grief, the reflection of who we were and who we must become-and about the current that carries us forward even when everything else falls away. Canon to the John Krasinski A Quiet Place Universe

Their only hope is each other. In a world where one sound means death, the girl who learned to hold her breath may be the one who survives.

Sixteen-year-old Grace Hill has spent her life following the black line at the bottom of the pool. Between early morning practices, state championships, and a growing friendship with three girls she met through swimming-Rika, Zoey, and Wrianna-her world is small, structured, and safe. Then the world ends. A fast-moving virus sweeps across the country in the summer of 2026, turning the infected into something faster and more terrifying than anything Grace has ever faced. The military holds longer than anyone expected, carving out walled safe zones in cities like Manhattan and San Francisco. But Fairport, New York, is on its own. Grace's training has prepared her for more than swim meets. Her endurance, her breath control, her ability to push through the burn-these are the things that keep her alive as she navigates the ruins of her hometown, searching for her family and for the three girls who became her anchors in a world that no longer exists. This is not a story about how the world ended. This is a story about four girls who refused to let it end them.

In the quiet hum of a Houston suburb, Kristine Ang's life revolves around the rhythm of the pool-early morning practices with the Premier Aquatics Club, the fierce camaraderie of her friends Elyssa and Brooke, and the pressure of the UIL State Championships. But in the summer of 2020, the world's silence turns deadly. When the Death Angels descend on New York City, the invasion ripples outward, forcing Kristine and her team to flee the chaos of Texas. Teaming up with a makeshift convoy of people, they must navigate a shattered country in search of a teammate broadcasting from a survivor camp located two thousand miles away.

Twenty‑year‑old Alva Larsson has just moved out of her family home, determined to prove she can stand on her own. With rent approaching, savings running out, and no job lined up, she's thrown into the deep end of adulthood faster than she expected. Her life has always revolved around discipline and movement - swimming for her, ballet for her brother, gymnastics for her sister, and her mother's world of dance. But independence is a different kind of challenge, and Alva quickly learns that surviving on her own requires more than athletic grit. As she searches for work and tries to build a life from scratch, Alva must navigate new responsibilities, unexpected pressures, and the reality of growing up without a safety net. This is a story about finding stability, discovering strength, and learning who you are when everything familiar falls away.
