Swimming was something Nolan enjoyed doing tolerably well. He didn't have a preference toward it as a sport to perform, but he didn't dislike it either, so he was okay with the idea of having gym class at the school's pool. He had a pool back home, a smaller one of course, but he enjoyed going for a swim every once in a while when the temperature got very hot, doing several short laps rather than going for a jog or his usual work out. Still, it wasn't going to be his favorite part of gym either, he was more of a contact sports kind of guy, like football or martial arts, or even athletics like track running and stuff like that. But he wasn't a complainer, and swimming would be a nice change. One thing he was a bit less glad about though was the fact that they weren't allowed to wear a t-shirt - it wasn't so much that he was so self conscious of his appearance, he just didn't necessarily like walking around shirtless. And then, girls in bathing suits could be a distraction too, but thankfully they weren't allowed bikinis either. Which was something other guys didn't quite agree with, but he personally liked it better that way.
Once the bell rang to indicate the end of the class he currently sat in, he gathered his things and hurried on his way out of the school building. Thankfully enough, the gym teacher gave them ten extra minutes for them to make it to the pool building and get changed, otherwise he knew there would be a whole lot of tardiness, but still, Nolan much preferred getting there a bit earlier, hence why he took up a light jog once he reached the school grounds, soon finding his way inside the locker rooms, not surprised when he realized he was the first one there, which made it that much easier to get a changing room so that he could get rid of his clothes and put his swim trunks on, folding his things neatly and putting them in his gym bag after taking out his towel and other things he'd need for the class, putting the bag again with his school backpack in the closest locker, locking it all up and heading out of the locker room once he'd taken the customary quick shower, nodding to the teacher as a greeting as he headed over to the couple of benches at the shallow edge of the pool, taking a seat as he waited for class to start.
