World Record In An Unofficial Competition

"Ready," the judge instructed.

All the contestants stood on the platform. When the gun was fired, the ten contestants jumped into the water simultaneously.

Grint looked at Eveleigh. Swimming in the sixth lane, she was the fastest.

As a long-distance runner, Grint knew about mid- and long-distance swimming too.

Mid- and long-distance swimming were similar to long-distance running in that they all needed appropriate tactics.

An athlete should not swim too quickly at the start, or he or she would very likely run out of stamina halfway.

But Eveleigh was too fast. It was clearly not the correct stamina distribution for this swimming competition.

Very soon, Eveleigh was at least ten meters ahead of the rest. At the first 50-meter turning point, she was at least three seconds ahead, which was increased to ten seconds at the second turning point.
