"Oof," Lucy said, grimacing slightly. "That's a long way from here." She still wasn't used to thinking of distances in terms of apparition and other magical means of transport. For a start, she didn't even known how to apparate, or have her licence, and brooms weren't all that practical during the day. "I'm so grateful my phone works here. It's one of the things I worried about when I moved."
Lucy readied herself against the side of the pool, feet braced against the wall. It wasn't exactly a proper racing start, but it was her version of one. She didn't expect to win. Dean was a regular swimmer, plus he had a hell of a lot of reach on her with his arms - but at least she could swim well enough to make it competitive. "Crawl's my stroke of choice," she said. "Or backstroke - but if I do backstroke in a pool I'm not familiar with I'll crack my head on the side and then you'll have to rescue me."
