The school tries to get all the girls into as many extracurricular activities as they can. They say it’s a good way for us to build our transcript, and it’s supposed to build teamwork or something like that. They really frown on not doing well though. All the girls are expected to pick a sport, and if you refuse they sign you up for ‘extra discipline’ it’s almost as bad when you join a sport, because they punish you whenever you lose for not ‘applying proper effort’.
I thought swim team was going to be one of the easier sports to stay out of trouble, I mean, most of the class isn’t great, and the other schools in the region are even worse. My first meet though went disastrous, I missed a launch, and just couldn’t catch up! I could tell I was in trouble before I even made it out of the water. They didn’t do anything until we got back to the main dorms, but then the coach brought out his paddle. I was supposed to be ‘reminded’ that winning is the purpose of the school, and he paddled my ass until it was black and blue. How am I supposed to compete when I can barely kick my legs? It was even worse when he made me hold the paddle and stand in the corner until my clothing and the team towels dried.
