Art/Blurb 2: So they were talking about a swimming competition? Oh stars this would be SO EXCITING!!! She wasn't too sure how good she was at swimming, especially with all of his fluffy fur to weigh them down in the water, but this was something she had secretly wanted to try upon arrival to the camp. Of course she'd participate! No matter if she won or lost, it's all about the fun!!

Why did it have to be swimming.

Any other sport, Heartpurr is sure she could master, but swimming? She has only just begun to learn, doing one full lap of dog paddle after months of her mothers' support. She isn't sure if she can ever get over the fear of drowning though. The water had almost claimed her once, dragging her away from her birth group and luckily spitting her out on Scorchclan territory. Heartpurr's chest rumbles with a nervous purr, a quirk of hers that she focuses on instead of the storm brewing in her mind. Her purr is steady and soothing, and she remembers the gentle encouraging words of her mothers as she enters the water. Paws ankle deep, she wants to turn back. At the same time though, she wants to help Cliff feel braver too.

The cool water gently laps her legs, and as she heads deeper into the water to reach the race's starting line, she feels her heartrate pounding quickly. Fear is melting into something else though it seems. Without the tug of rushing water, Heartpurr finds that she actually feels quite comfortable in the water. Her fur is weightless and she exchanges glances of playful challenge with the other campers. A purr rumbling louder in her chest, making her sound like one of those boats the two-legs use, Heartpurr swishes her tail back and forth behind her. Let the race begin!

"Hey, Cliff!" Tiger says, walking out of the water, towards Cliff. "Why aren't you joining in?"

"I don't like swimming," Cliff says, a worried look upon his face. "And I'm afraid the others will think I'm a coward."

"You're not a coward!" Tiger exclaims. "You're one of the most courageous cats I've met. Now, do you want me to show you a swimming technique? It's easy, and there's no way to drown!"

"Really?" Cliff asks, his expression full of surprise. "You'd show me?"

"Yeah, I would!" Tiger grins. "Now, follow me!"
The two cats go over to the abandoned Twoleg Swimming Store. Tiger jumped onto a shelf, and grabbed a floatie.

"Here, put this on!" Tiger threw the floatie onto the sand. "It will keep you from drowning!"

Cliff slid the floatie over his head and behind his front paws. "Wow, this is cool!" he laughed.

"Are you ready to join the competition now?" Tiger asked, excited for Cliff's answer.

"Yeah, I am!" Cliff grinned. "Come on, let's go!"
The two friends joined the competition, and had fun the whole day.

Art/Blurb 2: Eveningstar bit back a laugh when she saw Cliff, in Aetherclan, before everything went haywire, you'd become the laughing stock if you were an air-breather like him! Of course, Eveningstar had always adored the water, and was very competitive! She dipped gracefully into the water and paddled out until she couldn't feel sand under her paws anymore. She quickly dove under and looked around, seeing tiny fish swim about. She smiled before resurfacing, wet fur in her eyes. "See, Cliff, it isn't that hard! I promise!" She called to him, treading water. "It's even a little fun when you get used to it!!" She dove back under and then shot out of the water. Okay, now she was just showing off....

Smolder would never tire of the water. Out here it was fresh and easy to swim in - no salt, no waves eager to draw him out to sea. It was gentle and kind and forgiving, which was why he stared at Cliff as he stuck his paws hesitantly in and out of the water. Some other campers took notice too, and Smolderingkestrel heard something about a race to show Cliff the lake and the water were safe - his ears pricked and his tail twitched. The prowlers raced all the time! After they were done hunting on a hot day it was a great way to cool down, have some fun, and bond. As a youngblood he had taken to water like a fish, and he enjoyed teaching new recruits to swim in the lake at Wanderer’s Reprieve.
“Hey, hey, wait for me!” Smolder yowled, dashing into the water and splashing several cats with his spray. “I can’t miss this,” he huffed, paddling towards the race crew that was slowly growing.

today, bouchard just wanted to laze about most of the time. he lay right on the edge of where the sand dipped into the deeper parts of the water, water lapping halfway up his chest and back. the spider, smirke, seemed content in sleeping in the middle of his head, while 'chards lazy eyes darted across the surface of the water, searching for any fish that dared get close enough to the tom laying in wait for any passing prey.

hey! he was being lazy, not unproductive!

Art/Blurb 2:

oh now this was when the fun really started, he supposed. from the ever cautious cliff to the cats that took to water like one of the fish they were tasked to catch. he wouldn't call himself competitive, no, he just thrived to win. there was a small voice at the back of his head that said he probably wouldn't win as neither was he one of these fish-cat hybrids that seemed to be amidst their numbers but also because he was actually too accustomed to swimming fast.

he mainly just waded and swiped, when a fish came close. he had never needed to swim particularly fast, especially back home. but he was willing to give a jolly good go "even if that meant cheating, just a little bit" he admitted to himself, smiling softly. nobody would know if he did, right?

koalatuft learnt to swim during his time in mangroveclan because, well, they live right by the ocean! the cats of mangroveclan accustomed him to the water, even though he definitely used to hate it, and so now he can swim anywhere with ease! he grinned excitedly at the mention of a race before making his way to the water, eagerly excited to show off his swimming skills to all the other campers. it really didn't matter if he won or not, because the fun he would have during the activity was the best prize!
