[OPEN TO ALL] Swimming Lessons

[no-use-running.livejournal.com]

Who: OPEN TO ALL interested
What: Swim Lessons: Stage 2
When: during the day into early evening (well before the coming event)
Where: at the ocean
Summary: The ocean part of the promised swim lessons!
Rating: G as far as I know. Maybe PG.

The water is relatively calm today, which makes it easier for lessons. Lucky~! It feels like any beach trip might.

Ami, clothed in shorts and a shirt over her bathing suit and wearing a whistle around her neck, wades just a short distance into the water so that it laps at her bared feet. She digs her toes deeper into the muck, unseen.

She has a few extra whistles for other instructors or helpers, and she looks over the group assembled. This is the first time she's really put herself forward like this, though she's confident in her skills. Hopefully it will go well.

(ooc: action tags, prose, anything is fine; threadjack to heart's content, pair up, random gawkers welcome as well as participants ♥)

Lucy would love to start splashing in the shallows immediately, but of course such an action would be going against the point of an organized swim lesson. So she'll stand in her bathing suit on the sand among the other prospective students and say hello to whomever is nearby.

As promised to Ami, Ginia is on the beach to serve as a lifeguard. Having found a beach chair and a crate to put it up on, Ginia sits and watches, whistle around her neck, and a pair of binoculars at her side.

At the perimeter of the group, trying his best not to look horrendously nervous for multiple reasons, is Robert. He doesn't want to risk himself unnecessarily, but the group of people at the beach is large enough that it shouldn't be too big a danger to be here. But less immediate things have made him anxious as well - for example, the prospect of baring his arms and chest in a place with so many people, even briefly, to put on the "rash guard" shirt he got for swimming. (Even Robert knows his lab coat isn't going to be suitable for the ocean.)

He smiles, a little awkwardly but genuinely, over at Ami when he notices her.

"I see there is, er, quite the crowd..." Robert notes, clutching the familiar white cloth bag to his chest. "Your lessons must be... popular."

Despite the threat from Saki, Leo came down for the lessons. He lived on the east coast for most of his life, but he's never gotten to the ocean. The smell of the salt water, the feel of the sand under his feet. It's quite a change.

He's not quite completely relaxed, as he checks around as he heads down to join the gathering group. He's at least left his swords back home, though. He's not wearing any clothes other than his usual though, he can swim like this just fine.

Since fixing the physical TARDIS wasn't going well at all and it seemed they might be in for an extended stay, swimming lessons seemed practical. She understood the physics of it perfectly, but sometimes driving this body was a bit of a challenge. Better to practice in a controlled situation just in case.

The wardrobe was stocked with everything one could possibly need, so the TARDIS arrived looking more or less normal, if a little old to be a beginner.

Mulder comes along, suited up and ready to literally dive right in. He's always liked swimming and is glad he can help out. It seems like something that's much needed with all the water that surrounds Luceti. Overall, he's got a very casual demeanor, and is keeping an eye out for where he's most needed.

/crosses fingers and hopes lj lets this go through...

Usagi doesn't particularly need lessons - while she's pretty clumsy at most things, at least she knows how to swim without drowning herself - but she is here all the same since Ami organized all of this. She stands there with a grin, already in a swimsuit (even though she's only been here for a while, she's managed to get that much) and looking ready to dive into the water and have fun.

After all, what is more fun than doing fun things like swimming with friends?

"Alriiight!" she lets out that shout, almost echoing across the water. "I can't waiiit!"
