Arrow Lake Wednesday has been cancelled due to a scheduling error

His breathing was fast and shallow by the time Dragomir reached Aurëwen, but reach her he did. She steadied him with her legs and steered him around, giving instruction as she did so. The boy did as he was told; he wasn't always the most disciplined cub, but right now he could give even the most obedient child a run for their money. He felt like his life depended on it, so he stiffened his legs, swept his around like a rudder, and tightened his belly as instructed.

Admittedly, it was a little painful. The ache of exercise, nothing more, but enough for Dragomir to suck in a breath before water splashed against his nose once more. As he was redirected to shore, his strokes didn't gain much finesse, but by the time he clambered back onto the bank he felt a little more sure of himself. Certainly he would not understand the appeal of swimming for fun, not anytime soon, but Dragomir felt like if he had to do it then he could manage it. Just for a short while. The sodden boy shook himself off and let his tail lift in a tentative wave, but his teeth chattered from the cold and he gave no indication of wanting to go back in today.
