I watched as Ben dove into the water first. He was graceful and elegant as he slipped into the water. He was taking an early lead on the lane next to us as he swam as hard as he could. Faster and faster he went, trying to maintain that lead until he got to Ryan.
And thanks to all of the swimming and water gods that there are, Ben managed to stay in first until it was time for Ryan to take place. The moment that Ben was where he needed to be, Ryan dove into the pool. He looked as graceful as any fish or merman that I had ever seen. Though I had only ever really seen Makai as a merman before. Still, Ryan was doing amazingly well. He kept going in his superfast, and amazingly graceful, movements until he went back to the other side of the pool where Makai was. I had my eyes glued to my boyfriend as he prepared to leap into the water and go for his leg in this heat.
