He was a tall, handsome, silver-haired Hawaiian. Occasionally I saw him swimming gracefully and effortlessly at a(n) ____1____ pace to the beach wall and back again.

One morning when I arrived as usual he walked past me on his way to the water. Suddenly he stopped and asked me if I’d like to swim against him. “Just for fun. Down to the beach wall and back.” He pointed toward our destination. After some thought, I ____2____ it.

I swam because I liked it. We trained of course, but ____9____ we just swam. It was natural.”
