The Alumni Swim Club That Rents a Public Pool Every Saturday Dawn

At five in the morning, while most people are still asleep, a group of alumni already gathers at the edge of a public pool. They rent the first hour so they can swim in peace.

Some swim seriously, chasing distance; others just soak and chat. All are welcome, because the goal is not competition but consistency.

Afterwards they eat rice porridge at the stall across the road, closing the morning with laughter before returning to routine.
