The starting block drips with water mixed with sweat and determination
The water ripples and flows as it waits for the next wave of people
The water is cold
It encompasses like a cold blanket
Hands move faster than lightning
Feet kick up and down to force water away
The flip turn comes
Bubbles scream out to keep water out
Feet push off of the firm cement wall
It repeats over and over
Touch the wall for the final time
The insane gasp for air
The hope of a dropped time
Muscles scream to not climb out of the pool
The excited look of teammates
The relief of peeling a cap off of a throbbing head
Nothing beats the water of passion
