At a suburban Sydney pool, the hour after closing belongs to adult swimmers of every shape. Flotation belts come in six sizes. Goggles fit a crocodile snout. Everyone is very mature about touching a stranger’s tentacle until it happens to them. Four romances grow out of the daft, intimate business of learning how another body moves.
Richie can hold eight floats. He cannot let go of one while anybody is looking. Beth volunteers to practise with him and ends up bobbing under a raft of foam noodles, laughing hard enough to ruin his concentration. The free companion novella is One Tentacle Over the Lane.
A misplaced limb starts the adults-only lane. A float test becomes a flirtation, a crocodile overcomes a fear of lessons, a reserved swimmer gives up his sunbed, and the last couple makes the shallow steps their own.
The direction is set. The books are written after you order.
May keeps finding a tentacle in her lane. Ian is trying to wave hello and three of his arms keep disagreeing about how. Her offer of a lesson in lap etiquette sounds unmistakably like a date to one of them.
Richie can hold eight floats. He cannot let go of one while anybody is looking. Beth volunteers to practise with him and ends up bobbing under a raft of foam noodles, laughing hard enough to ruin his concentration.
Someone is leaving goggles in increasingly outrageous colours on Gordon’s locker. The pink pair actually fits. Their owner is the diver he accused of showing off, who now wants to watch him put his face in the water.
Heather wants ten minutes on the warm tiles after work. Morris has occupied the same sunbed for years. They start leaving increasingly officious handwritten reservation notices, until one of them accidentally writes ‘our usual’.
Priya has promised an elegant water ballet. Dean’s tail keeps stealing the show. Each time she counts four, he sends a ripple through the shallow end and everybody follows him instead.
The first after-hours swimmers persuade the pool to try a beginner night, where Book 1’s leads meet.
