"ATTENTION!" Gou was standing at the pool side, megaphone in hand and staring at the boys opposite her. There was her idiot brother, Rin, and Haru – she knew all about Haru, Rin never shut up about how he was going to beat him once and for all – and the tall one was Makoto, wow, those abs, and then the one who looked like a child must be Nagisa...

They all looked like decent swimmers, but she decided to put them to the test.

"I want 10 laps of your preferred style, 3, 2, 1, GO!" she yelled into the megaphone, blowing her whistle at the end of her sentence.

Their reflexes faster than she'd imaged, the four boys dived in and began to swim. So fast, she thought, her jaw dropping, watching them intently-

"SORRY I'M LATE!" came a cry from the door. Gou's head whipped around and a boy with glasses came stumbling into the room.

Gou stared at his colour-clashing, ten-sizes-too-small Speedos. That was a sight she could never erase from her mind.

"Oi, sis, stop ogling nerds and watch us swim!" The bratty voice of her brother echoed around the room.

She glared at him. "Get back to swimming!"

Gou turned back to the boy. "Who exactly are you?"

He bowed low. She could see the unappealing sight of his behind. "My name is Rei."

"And you're here because...?"

"I want to try out for the team!"

Well. She could get him some new swim shorts and he'd be fine... possibly...

"Okay. I want 10 laps of your preferred stroke." She walked back to the side of the pool to watch the swimmers.

"But, ma'am!"

She turned around.

"I don't know how to swim!"

There was a spluttering noise as Makoto and Nagisa started laughing uncontrollably and sinking to the bottom of the pool at the same time.

Rin scowled at the boy.

Haru was shaking his head and looking at Rei with disgust.

After Makoto and Nagisa had been rescued from a horrible death, Gou looked the boy up and down again.

"Why, exactly, would you come to the practise session of one of the greatest swim teams in Japan if you can't swim?" she questioned.

"Well..." he looked slightly embarrassed. "You see, I heard there were going to be hot guys here..."
Nagisa and Makoto sank to the bottom of the pool again.

"And I suppose you were right," murmered Rin, winking at Rei, whose glasses were steaming up.
