Summary
You can figure out how it goes. He makes the two-foot climb to the top of the diving board. He looks down into the water below, and though the red letters along the edge of the pool all declare obnoxiously “12 FEET!”, he thinks to himself that it didn’t really look that deep. He thinks that, clearly, everyone was just trying to hold him down. Stop him from flying. Stop him from breaking free. And so Duke does it—he dives. For about two seconds, it feels good because it’s just him, the water, and the glowing warmth of his own triumph.
Then he sinks.
Of course, he sinks. He couldn’t swim.Series

Summary
And in hindsight, the scariest part was not how hard Duke had worked, or how much he sacrificed, or how long he waited.
