Come on.:pinkiehappy: that's takin it a little too far. 😁

Not a bad story. Punctuation errors everywhere, but the story itself isn't bad.

Lol totes earned a fave from me!

I feel for Twi. I really do.

Truthfully, I...can't really swim either...

I can stay above water...barely...but when it comes to actually attempting to swim...well, let's just say Ihave been dragged out of the water half drowned more than once.

"More like swim..." Sunset said as she stood up from the sand. "We have never actually hit the water together, so we decided it would be good to do so now, didn't you get the text?" Sunset asked as she looked up at the sky. "Today is a great day to swim anyway..."

Not to mention thx to the memory stone incident thx to wallflower :ajbemused::twilightangry2:

"That wasn't even the end..." Twilight continued. "After that day, since almost half the school was there at the pool, the word was spread through the whole school and everyone knew about it."

Jeez that sounds terrible. :fluttershysad:

"I knew that I had to save him as there was no one else around to do so. I was really scared too, but I knew it had to me who saved it so I slowly got into the lake. The moment I stepped in, I slipped and drank a whole mouthful of water. I really wanted to get out but I knew that it would die without me, so I tried my best to paddle towards it, holding by breath. Once I felt the rhythm of how to move my legs, it was much easier."

Wow swallow a mouthful of the lake water sounds both gross and unsettling. 😬

"We've tried that before....heh heh...." Spike cut in. "It didn't end that well, I lost a lot of fur." Twilight glared at Spike. "Oh, I mean....eh heh heh..." Spike laughed as he hid his face in Fluttershy's hands.

There goes a plan that might of helped our situation at hand. :facehoof:

"Wow, how unexpected." Rainbow said sarcastically from the corners of her mouth.

Tell me about it. 😒

"During the competition, I swam with all my might. My opponents were really fast too, but I was faster. Weeks and weeks of cold hard practice flashed through my mind as I held up the trophy, my face beaming with pride. I was so happy! Since then, I realised that I really liked competing and doing stuff that was you know? Like physical and involves moving around a lot! That's how I am the captain off all athletic clubs now!"

Impressive :applejackunsure:

Rainbow burst out laughing. "That's it!? That's your story?" She rolled her eyes. "From how you made fun of me just now, I was kinda expecting more from your story rather than a boring old 'I took swimming lessons with my sis' story!"

Yeah, ngl I was expecting something way differently from rarity.

"I was in a coma for a few hours before I coughed up so much water, I could fill Equestria. From then on, I learned the importance of always being prepared no matter what. So I took on swimming." Sunset sat back down. "Yup, you should really take on swimming Twi, you'll never know when you may need the skill."

Wow, I think Sunset's story was the best and most shocking one out of all of them, imo. :pinkiegasp:

Twilight stood up. "Wow! I never knew that swimming could forge friendships, win competitions, shape your future and save lives! maybe i will try!"

That's the spirit twilight. :twilightsmile:
