Alright, so he had nearly drowned in the arctic that time... and then there was the whole water-wading incident here on the island... and ok so he had also nearly drowned when Candace had dunked him in the hot tub that time... but the fact he had NOT drowned, AND had managed to save Miss Glenda that last mission had given Jerry hope and purpose.

He stood boldly over the side of the Full Hunter pool, hands on his hips, chest still bare from his unfortunate recent waxing, bright orange swim trunks clean and bright and not regularly used, and prescription goggles snapped firmly in place, he was ready.

Once his swimming coach showed up, that is.

Rep showed up at the pool not much later, dressed in a pair of speedos and looking in no hurry at all. He did a double take when he spotted Jerry, and didn't drop the look of shocked surprise even as he wandered over to him.

He only just managed to restrain the urge to touch the other hunter to see if he was really missing all his ******** body hair.

"Did you wax?" he asked incredulously.

Jerry's face went red behind his goggles and scars, and he quickly reached to pull a shirt over his shoulders, "Er... technically I was waxed. It wasn't entirely voluntary. Sasha and Candace were ah.... adamant." He cleared his throat and forced an embarrassed smile, "More hydrodynamic, though, right?"

Rep wrinkled his nose in disapproval. "Aye mibbey more slippery in the pool but.." he made a vague gesture with his hands. "You were fine how you were, it's weird seeing you all ******** like metro." He scratched his own arm with a sound not unlike a dog itching itself and shrugged. "But I guess if you are trying to attract women you might as well listen to them. And not a ******** guy." he shrugged and turned his back, striding along the pool's edge before gracefully diving into the deep water, his earring blazing brightly the second he hit the surface. Swimming to the shallower end he set his feet on the bottom.

"Right, just jump in. Don't dive, just put your feet first. And then just like. be confident, kick your feet, swim to the surface. Hold your breath till you are at the top. And don't ******** freak out at any point, I'll get you if you look like you are in trouble."

He had a horrible feeling this was probably at some point end up in awkward Jerry contact.

"It certainly has felt weird," He laughed, scratching at an unusually bare arm before clearing his throat, "That's ah... what I thought about it. Um. Sprucing myself up I mean! I do miss my hair though... I don't like um." He gestured to the snarl of scars at his cheek and neck that trailed back to the thick knot of burnt flesh on his back, "being so exposed. You know?" He caught sight of the scars Roar had left Rep on his face and his stomach twisted, but the red head was already diving in.

"RIGHT!" He listened to the advice, bracing himself as he stared down into the flickering water. "Just... jump in. Now?"

Rep still wasn't even slightly pleased at the prospect of people changing Jerry, everyone on this ******** island had to impose on everyone else. Sure, he made fun of the other Sun, but that was mocking him playfully for how he was, how Rep pointed out things that made people what they are. Seeing him different, trimmed and changed into what women wanted him to be was strange and felt like cheating.

"I'd feel exposed too with nae hair." he said grimly. "But aye man, just jump in. You need to like, be confident with the water before you can learn to swim, none of this shuffling into the shallow end shite. Suns jump into the deep end. Ye can hold onto the side once you get to the surface. Which you will."

"R-right," Jerry repeated, drawing in a deep breath as he shed his over shirt once more and tossed it onto a sun chair.

God, he was glad the pool area was pretty vacant, even on such a miserable day.

"Suns jump in." He repeated like a montra. Another deep breath as his toes touched the edge. "Alright. Alright. Suns jump in with CONFIDENCE! AWOOWOOWOOWOOGGGRRGGLE!!" He held his nose, and jumped in.

Rep looked on keenly, ready to swim over and rescue the other man if he sunk like a stone, as he was suspecting he would. Jerry seemed to lack that innate survival instincts most other humans were born with.

It was probably what made him a good sun.

There was a gurgling, a flailing, and a lot of bubbles and inflated pockets on shorts as he pawed at the water to try madly to get his head back up in the air again.

Rep was pretty sure you had to go under a few times before you drowned, so he didn't intervene right away, just stood looking unimpressed as Jerry flailed around - but didn't sink. He couldn't ask for grace and control from the other man, he was here to teach him to swim, not to function.

"Good! You are doing good man. Now just stay that way ******** up and like..get to the edge!" he kept his voice loud and clear as he could manage though he didn't expect Jerry to be in much position to listen.

Words were being said. Jerry couldn't hear them over his own frantic splashing.

In bursts of gasps, he managed a few words of his own.

"POOL!!" under again before, "NOODLE!"

"No ******** FLOATS." Rep barked.

"BE THE ******** ALPHA WOLF AND ******** DOG PADDLE."

After a few frantic grabs, he was finally able to take a hold of the edge of the pool, gasping for breath as he clung there shivering. The water was pretty cold, but at least beat the heat. And he hadn't drowned! Yet. "Oh... okay!" He panted, waterlogged, "What now?"

"Now you practice like. You get a handle on the different aspects of swimming. Like hold on and kick your feet. Get used to the lift it provides. Its what you combine with arm motions. As a hunter you should be able to kick ******** hard." he raised a brow at Jerry thoughtfully as well.

"Have you tried like, letting Roar lead? Like, the way you can in battle? Maybe he could like, show you how to dog paddle. Like, I don't know how Roar like, interacts with you but.. "

Jerry grimmaced, "He's mostly laughing at me right now. But I'm pretty sure HE doesn't know how to swim either," He huffed.

Of course I do. You just don't do whatever it is you do, the howler was indeed laughing.

"Ok. Ok. I can do kicking. I mean, I'm fine with a board or something, that's how I didn't drown in the Arctic, you know? Just something to help keep me above water." He positioned himself appropriately, gripping the side of the pool before showing Rep what a good kicker he really was.
