Jack turned his head to see the cause of the big and noisy splash behind him. The high waves almost pushed Jack under water. [color=00aaee]"What in hell was that?"[/color], he thought to himself. The result of the waves were also clear, glittering water drops that surrounded Jack and decorated the ocean he floated in. The brightly lit water drops blinded Jack and he closed his eyes to enjoy the water drops that were falling on his shoulders and his back.

A few moments later Jack opened his eyes and turned around. Other people had already swam past him and few others were gaining on him. Not that this was a competition, however, Jack decided he wouldn't be the last person to reach the island they were all swimming towards to. He took a deep breath then bend forward and swam down a few metres. He saw alot of swimming feet attach to swiftly moving bodies, Jack enjoyed the view. Jack was fond of water, especially clear oceans like this one.

Then Jack started swimming forward and upwards, slowly gaining speed with each stroke. While moving his body elegantly he kept gaining speed and almost reached the surface. Once his head stuck out of the water he took a deep breath in and slowly breathed out while he kept swimming. Jack had come to a point that his body had gotten used to the salt in the water so he could use this to his advantage to swim at an even higher tempo. [color=00aaee]"Let's go"[/color], he mumbled to himself. With each stroke Jack sped up a bit more and he was curious if he would gain on anyone in front of him.

He figured he would still swim a long while and maybe gaining on the others was not his main priority. He did not qualify for the knock-out phase of the World Tournament and it was a good idea to watch his stamina instead of focusing mainly on his speed. The fact that he started his last match at the tournament with full speed was actually the reason he lost. Jack simply collapsed before landing the final blow on his opponent, because he was out of stamina and energy. Fortunately, Jack had had one of the best nights sleep of his life and seemed to have regained full strength. He was now fully focused on swimming and was eager to finish the test.[/indent]
