The air was thick with humidity (潮湿) inside the swimming pool hall as Elisha paced nervously near the starting blocks. The chlorine (氯气) in the air stung (使刺痛) her eyes, but these were mild concerns compared to the matter which seemed largest in her mind: the result of the state semi-finals (半决赛). The young 16-year-old had trained hard and devoted her entire life so far to swimming. Almost as soon as she could walk, Elisha had taken like a fish to the water and gave her whole body, mind, and spirit to the sport.
She always loved being in the water, whether to cool off on a hot summer’s day or to forget about her troubles at school — the waves simply carried it all away. But for Elisha, swimming was not merely for recreation. Her father, a retired athlete-turned-coach, always pushed Elisha to find out the extent of her talents and abilities. Her whole family, in fact, were full of amateur and professional athletes, especially her older brothers and sisters who had gone on to play in the NCSA at university.
There was no way she could let them all down. Not here, and not now. Finally, the time had come: the 400-meter medley (混合泳) relay. In a team of four swimmers, she was the last one to go in the relay. It would be all on her to secure first place for her team. She had done well in the swimming meet so far, but this last relay would determine whether she and her team would move on to the state finals. It all came down to her to bring it home.
At the sound of the buzzer (蜂鸣器), the swimmers all dove into the water. Kayce e with the freestyle stroke, Lizzie with the breaststroke, and finally Susan with the backstroke. Elisha’s heart pounded as she readied herself for take-off.
