We arrived at the Thebarton Swim Centre at 6.30 pm. There was a funny anxiety in the air. We were about to see each other naked. There would be no turning back in beserkdom now.
We don't know how much you pay for swimming pool access in your part of the world, but here at Thebarton it's only $AU3.20 for as long as you like.
However, this was Steve's night. The land bounded larrikin was about to hit the chlorinated depths.
Steve's story:
I'd spent too long watching others have fun at pools or in the sea. It was my turn tonight. After changing in the drafty change rooms, we wandered out into the main arena. There were two pools, the shallow one and the normal, graded-depth pool. Thankfully, the beserk boys followed me into the shallow one tonight. I knew I'd graduate one day, but I wanted to be ready. Time flew. After some excellent beserk tutoring I emerged from the pool crinkly, cool and confident.
The early night swim was here to stay in the beserk realm.
