Chapter 346 Scoping Out The Competition

• The next morning, after dressing in my one piece swimsuit, I stood in front of the vanity in the bedroom, trying to decide how best to wear my hair, as to eliminate the most friction and increase my speed in the water.
• Swimmers, I knew, wore swim caps to cover their hair, but lacking that, I wasn’t sure what to do other than tie it up in a ponytail and hope for the best.
• Elva, already dressed for the day, watched me. She wore a look of determination, as if she was the one about to go out and race. I appreciated the solidarity.
