Chapter 73

Dino, who has been desiring to compete for both the freestyle and medley relay races, sought the help of his boyfriend to help him in increasing his speed in swimming. Ivan, having been trained intensively in swimming many times previously, decided to train Dino in the same way. He patiently taught Dino, including the latter's breathing and form. 

Eventually, Ivan's training paid off. It took about two weeks of their training until Dino was able to swim much faster than before. Dino could already swim quickly in a 100-meter freestyle race within a short time, although his speed still was not enough to beat Ivan's. This made Dino feel somehow jealous of Ivan's ability. 

Thus, one day, Dino decided to ask Ivan just at the side of the swimming pool after they had just finished their training together for the day. 

"Ivan, how are you able to swim that fast?" Dino asked curiously after he failed to beat Ivan in freestyle races in too many times to count.
