* * * * *Harstons chapter 14 - the swim tournament
_________________________________________________
After
the excitement of the football game, which levelled up the score to 1-1
everyone was excited to see the final round. A good crowd of Barnards
boys gathered in the pool to cheer on their team. Inside the changing
room the swimmers were getting ready. Of course for the home boys that
simply meant stripping off as the swim captain Andy Johnon was clear
they would compete naked.
This was of course a massive
surprise to the Grange boys, showering naked well that was pretty
normal but swimming naked in front of a crowd well that was in a
different league altogether!
Johnon called his team out of
the changing room in order to go through the running order and give
final instructions and pep talk. This left the changing room to the
Grange boys where they were wondering what they should do. Mr. Ellison
and Mr. Jennings appeared.
He went through the running order
and then looking at his group of 6 lads he smiled, "well lads ypu now
have a choice - swim as you are" (they were all in black trunks) " or
join the Harston boys and swim nude. Apparently it is a bit of a
tradition here, all boys school etc."
Mr. Jennings nodded,
"yes it is, as I found out when I moved here. It is your choice boys
I’m not going to force any of you to swim nude, but I know the lads
here would think highly of you if you did, perhaps you might like to do
as they say " when in Rome" but I will leave it up to you."
Mr. Ellison nodded his agreement adding "Freddy you are the captain.
You have 5 minutes before we start. Enjoy boys.” The teachers turned
and left leaving 6 boys each lost in their own thoughts.
Unbeknown to all 12 boys swimming, Andy Johnson had arranged for the
race marshals to be completely independent. The 4 marshals would each
have a stopwatch and one marshal per lane to ensure that the right
final order was made for each race.
He had asked Mrs. Evans
the swim teacher who would be running the lifeguarding training for
help and she readily agreed as the first lifesaving lesson would be
after the swim event anyway. She and had brought along the 2 girls who
were going to do the training who along with Miss Bailey and herself
would provide the 4 marshals needed. There was a collective intake of
breath from the assembled Barnards boys when Mrs. Evans and her girls
entered the pool. Many supporters were extremely glad they weren’t on
the chosen swim team. The poor 6 lads were already naked poolside
however and there was no turning back.
There woukd be 8
races in total – A front crawl and a breaststroke race for each of the
3 year groups - 2 boys from each school competing. An all age medley -
3 boys swimming back breast and free and finally all age sprint - again
3 boys one from each year group. If there was still a tie there would
be an all team sprint involving all 6 swimmers.
Barnards
team led by 5ths Teddy Sullivan & Cam Wheeler; 4ths - Simon Taylor
& Matthew Jefferson and 3rds David Fox & Jonny Carter.
The Grange team was led by Freddy Giles and Bobby Sansom; 4ths - Gavin
Day and Shaun Robinson 3rds - Peter Thompson and Jacob Edwards.
Inside the changing room Freddy started the conversation, "well lads
what do you think?” The youngest 13 year old Peter Thompson pipped up,
" I don’t mind." His 3rd year mate Jacob Edwards laughed " that’s
because you’ve got nothing to hide Peter.” The younger boy blushed.
Freddy intervened, " that’s unfair Jacob, we all know we mature at
different ages, I think its brave of you Peter, well done. Anyone else
willing to swim nude?” One of the 4th years put his hand up as did
Freddy himself, but the other 3 were steadfastly against it. "Well as
Mr. Ellison said no one is going to be forced to swim nude, but I’m
game and I don’t think it matters if some of us are naked and some of
us aren’t.”
And with that he pulled off his trunks, his fairly
large willy once again on show. Peter turned to Jacob and said, “I hope
I get that big!” He pulled off his own trunks to reveal a small
hairless willy as befitted a boy yet to start puberty. Gavin Day did
likewise, his willy was about 3 inches with a good crop of black hair.
And so the half trunks, half naked team were led out of the changing
room each with their towel blissfully unaware of the presence of the
females outside.
Meanwhile the 6 Barnards boys were gathered
at one end of the pool, all looking down at the other end where Mrs.
Evans and the 3 teenage girls were talking with Mr. Ellison and Andy
Johnson. The boys were all acutely aware of the occasional looks and
smiles from the girls. A crowd of about 40 boys were sat on the benches
ready to watch the competition.
Andy Johnson blew his
whistle loudly and called for silence. Mr. Jennings welcomed everyone,
thanked Mrs. Evans and her girls for their help, and Miss Bailey who
would also of course provide first aid. He explained the races and then
handed over to Andy Johnson to call the first race.
The 25 m
sprint freestyle for the 3rd years. Three naked boys plus Jacob in his
trunks lined up ready. The whistle went and they dived in and swam as
fast as they could, the crowd cheering them all. At the other end of
the pool stood the 4 females with their stop watches. The boys stayed
in the water while times were checked and then the winner revealed.
Peter Thompson won, the first point to Grange. The boys climbed out,
their bodies dripping water as they stood together. The girls took in
the view, Peter grinning, his little willy in stark contrast to the
other 2 naked boys whose development had clearly started. One of the
girls, Alison, said to her friend Jill, "so cute", loud enough for the
boy to hear. He blushed red noticing the looks. Jacob nudged him,
" Well done Peter, got yourself an admirer". He laughed from his position of cover wearing his trunks.
The races moved on and the girls noticed that as the boys got older, so
the willies got bigger and hairier! This was fun! They were
particularly impressed with Freddy Giles and Cam Wheeler whose much
larger willies were a delight to the girls. By the end of the 6
individual races, the scores were even 3 wins each. It was getting
tense. The two team captains now had to decide based on performance who
would swim the first relay. Three boys, at least one from each year
group.
Once the Boys were chosen the breast strokers had to
go the far end, ready for their handover which not only meant a naked
walk the length of the pool but standing next to the 2 girls marshals.
Unfortunately Jefferson slipped and fell over with quite a bang on his
hip. He let out a yelp in pain. Fortunatly Miss Bailey was on hand to
help the prostrated teenager who was lying on his back naked in some
agony. He was holding his hip where he had landed on it and Miss Bailey
tended to him, her hands just inches from the naked boys willy.
With the help of another boy she helped him to stand up which he did
gingerly, and she massaged the hip area to check no broken bones. Poor
Jefferson, though in pain was also slighlty aroused by this attention
and his willy started to plump up considerably which added to his
embarassment as lots of people were looking his way.
" Well
nothing broken but it might be too painful to swim Jefferson" Miss
Bailey said, Cam Wheeler came over and “said dont worry we will get
Simon to swim your leg Matthew, take a rest we might need you later.”
The boy nodded and with one arm over Miss Bailey’s shoulder he hobbled
over to the benches his willy sticking out for all to see. The Grange
boys were fascinated that everyone just seemed to accept that the boy
had a boner and no one mentioned it though it was clearly out there for
all to see!
The competition continued and the relay was
close. The first leg back stroke pitted Teddy Sullivan and Freddy Giles
against each other, their willies flopping from side to sude as they
swam down the pool much to the delight of the two girls. What fun this
was.
The Barnards boys won the race, so it was now 4-3. The
final race was therefore key. The Grange had to win to force a
tiebreak.
This last race would be fast, 3 lengths of
freestyle, youngest first with the o!dest boys going last. The crowd
was silent as Jacob Edwards in trunks lined up alongside the naked and
clearly developing David Fox. The whistle went and the boys dived in,
it was close all the way through and on the 3rd leg as Freddy Giles and
Cam Wheeler swam it was neck and neck. They both touched the end and no
one was clear who had won, the boys got out the pool, the water
dripping off them, their willues hanging between their legs standing
next to the girls who were sharing theur times with Mrs. Evans.
The girls took in these naked 15 year olds with smiles and looks. This
was the best afternoon ever! The Grange school was declared the winner
so that made it a tie!
The agreed play off was a race
involving all 6 swimmers, but it didn’t seem likely that Jefferson was
going to be fit. A quick chat and there was a shout out by Andy Johnson
for David Potter who was sitting on the back row of the benches. He
came down to poolside where he agreed to be substitute. The girls and
the Grange lads looked on as right there in front of everyone he just
stripped off and soon was naked like the other swimmers. He was
reasonably well developed a nice thin long willy hung between his legs
and flopped quite a bit as he jumped up and down to warm up.
The girls were amazed at how un self-conscious these boys were naked. They were going to enjoy the life guarding training.
Freddy Giles called his team together for a final pep talk. " Well done
guys were held our own and we have a good chance. One fast leg each
just swim your hearts out.” He looked at the 3 lads in the trunks "Look
lads a know it’s a big ask but I suggest we all swim nude, give it a
go. Show us as a team willing to fit in. What do you think?"
Bobby and Shaun both agreed but Jacob was reluctant. " There can’t me
much there at your age come on Jacob” said Shaun. The boy still seemed
resistant, but peer pressure paid and he shed his trunks to reveal an
equally small willy no bigger than Peters but with a small dark bush of
hairs. He had clearly started puberty, but the willy was still very
small.
At this point Mrs. Evans came over to ask if they
were ready, she smiled at the 6 naked teens, "So good to see" she
thought to herself. The teams lined up 3 swimmers at each end and then
the whistle went. It was another close race, and it was all down to
Teddy Sullivan and Shaun Robinson on the final leg. Teddy got the edge
and just won by a stroke to the cheers of the crowd. He punched the air
in victory before shaking hands with Shaun. The boys all got out and Mr
Taylor who had been watching along with Mr Ellison stepped forward,
“Boys I think before the awards we should all give a big round of
applause to all 12, no I mean all 13 swimmers who have given us some
great races to watch. Well done boys.”
When the applause had
died down, he continued, “ Well done t everyone who took part whether
at cross country, football or swimming. We think this has been a great
idea and will see a close relationship between Grange School and
Harstons, and particularly Barnards House. Thanks to Mr. Jennings for
coming up with the idea and helping organise it all.” There are a few
cheers from both sets of boys for the popular teacher.
“There is a cup to be presented to the winning team but firstly Mr.
Ellison and I have medals to present to the 3 stars from each sport.
For cross country run the medal goes to Tony Miller, winner of the
race. For football the player of the match was Dave Sharpe and for
swimming we’ve got two winners – Teddy Sullivan and Peter Thompson. So
if all the winners would like to come forward please.”
The
crowd of boys started cheering and clapping as 2 dressed boys and 2
boys with only their towels made their way forward. Each was presented
with a medal but poor Teddy as he turned away , his towel slipped, and
he stood there in front of everyone naked. Conscious of the girls
standing very closely to him, he blushed and grabbed his towel quickly,
but of course not before they got a close view much to their delight.
The cup was presented, and the event was brought to a close.
Andy Johnson called over Teddy and Cam Wheeler to let them know the
life guarding first lesson would start in 15 minutes, so they might as
well hang around with Mrs. Evans, Miss Bailey and the girls. Of course
up until this point they had been blissfully unaware as to the identity
of the other participants of the course but it was now clear that they
were going to be and throughout the training sessions with the girls,
but it was too late to back out now…...
