Guess who has goggles, buchou? Guess who even bought a spare, buchou? Darn shame he left it on the ship.
... Okay, so he didn't bring his original pair of goggles with him, either. He didn't know they'd find a place to swim! He still deserved bragging rights for owning a pair, dammit. (In every meaning of the word, but that goes without saying.)
Rin didn't bother with a dramatic dive, simply getting into the water and swimming slowly for a bit, warming up. Considering the temperature of the water, he was ready for something faster very soon.
"Even without goggles, you can see who wins a race, right?" It wasn't put as bluntly as it might have been; Rin was at least outwardly polite to his team captain most of the time. It was still a challenge, though, and a calculated one; Mikoshiba was damn fast. But for Rin, there was little point in practicing if he wasn't up against something - and with no way to measure their time accurately, competing against each other was the next best thing. "Let's try starting with that dive, touching the tree on the other side of the basin, and swimming back. If that's all right."
