Cold water... ugh, Wren's not looking forward to this. On top of that, just looking at the way the water is moving faster here almost gives the usually confident molly cold feet. But she shakes her head firmly to rid herself of the small bit of anxiety. Now was not the time to panic. She knows how to swim in calm water especially, her instincts will keep her afloat, too. With a deep breath, Wrenpaw nods to her mentor and dives in.

The first thing she notices in the cold hitting her like a blow to the side. Second, she notices that the stronger current here is trying to carry her along. 'Ok, Wren, you can do this, you know how to swim in shallow, calm water, how much harder could this be?' She asks herself. The truth is, it's much more difficult. As she surfaces, Wren can't help but take a quick gasp of breath, her paws churning under her as she tries to fight the slightly strong current. It's not overwhelming, at least, and RiverClan's diet of plenty of fish has made her coat glossy and slightly water resistant over her moons, so her fur doesn't become heavy with the weight quite as quickly as other clans might.

Trying hard to split her focus, Wrenpaw keeps half her attention on the churning of her paws, and tries to focus the other half on her mentor. If anything, so far this is more of a brain workout then a body workout.
