Re: Pool
Today Toph Beifong was determined to swim (or rather, take the first steps in learning how to do so). It had taken some careful planning, a bit of luck, and basically bribing her favorite babysitter so that she'd have a swimsuit of some sort instead of needing to pass off underwear as one, but she was here now. And she was going to get into the water if it killed her.
Not that she actually knew how to swim. Despite the fact that her parents had had a pool for as long as she could remember, they had never let use it out of fear of her drowning. Toph thought that that was pretty stupid since the whole point of learning how to swim was learning how to avoid drowning, but her parents had put their foot down and that was that.
Her parents weren't here however, so what they would or wouldn't allow wasn't an issue. She *was* going to get in the water and take the first steps towards learning how to swim. She just had to find out where the shallow end was and how to actually get *in* the pool first.
