Despite the pool being just a few floors down from his room, Jonas hadn't yet made his way down here. For one, he knew the very basics of swimming and for two, well, he was shy. Still, coming to find the pool empty for the moment meant it was a little easier to get out of his shirt and step into the pool.
The water was warm enough and Jonas waded in till it hit the top of his chest. Swimming wasn't needed when he was tall enough to touch the bottom. For now, that was as far as he'd go. He had time to do more if he felt confident enough. He splashed some water on his face and then ducked down enough to get his hair wet.
It was a relatively new experience for him. There hadn't been much time for swimming back in the Community. Time was spent learning or volunteering. Recreational time was limited and tended to be spent playing games that made Jonas' stomach turn when he thought about them now.
New year, new experiences. Jonas hoped to have a lot of them.
