A note from Jevic
     I recently (2 October 2026) found that Austswim posted his story on Nifty and was last updated on 22 September 2025. That being documented, I can be hopeful that this story will be updated with another chapter soon. I will do my best to contact Austswim and see what I can find out. Thanks!


Author's Note:

     A little background on my pen name. AUSTSWIM has been Australia’s national organisation for the teaching of Swimming and Water Safety since 1979. In that time, they have trained over 360,000 Teachers of Swimming and Water Safety and continue to train around 13,000 candidates annually.

     This story is based on events from my life. Not everything happened the way it was described here, but the general categories such as a crappy high school life, the hustling, and some of the others stuff in the other parts did really happen. I guess it's the outcome where I'll take some liberty to fabricate a more desirable ending. Also, there will be some sex as you'll see in this installment, but not like you'd expect.

     I had some comments on how the shifting time focus is a bit confusing. Well, the only thing I'm trying do there is really highlight some of the major differences in personality that came about in 8 years. You see the character in 1995 and wonder how the hell he got that way, which this story was initially about. However, it became important for me to describe what had happened to make this character within the specific environment of high school. I think it's just more powerful that way.
