The apprentice listened carefully, before nodding. When their mentor would pounce, they would counter it by using their claws, but not in anyway that would do any real harm since this was training.

The Enforcer nodded, pleased that the apprentice was picking up with a fast pace. "Yes, but only because your head will always strain to keep up the surface. Always keep your chin high. Your tail will serve as a balance, but don't think too much about it. I'm sure it will come instinctively to you as you make your way through water."
Lynxshade deeply believed in the importance of instinct. One could explain every single move to achieve a certain movement such as swimming, but if a cat didn't train their instinct alongside their training, half of the work wouldn't be done.
Now she walked into the muddy water, following Bitternpaw and then going into deeper water. She started swimming farther, pushing her front paws downward and her hind legs backward. Her whisker served as a useful means to remain above the surface, and her tail trailed behind, leaving soft ripples in the small swamp water.
"Observe, and try to copy me. I'll always be by your side, anything should happen." She nudged the apprentice to come, patiently waiting for him to make up his mind.

Alright, here goes nothing. Ever so slowly he pads after her, his smaller stature meaning that he was submerged a lot more quickly than the older warrior. At least he was correct about his assumptions. His long tail perhaps would aid him here more than anywhere else, aside from jumping. Before his paws can leave the safety of the bottom of the pond he takes a deep breath, preparing for the worst if he was to begin to sink.
[ Bitternpaw rolled a 16 to stay afloat. ]
Perhaps he was more of a natural than he gave himself credit for. Because once he's left the safety net of that ground, he's treading water rather smoothly. Mouth agape and paws working furiously and clumsily, he stays above water but doesn't move after her. Maybe it was a better idea for him to get used to it first? Or perhaps he was afraid of moving in too deep too quickly. But regardless of what stops him he lingers in his spot for a few moments to adjust to the odd feeling of swimming.
[ Bitternpaw rolled a 17 to swim after Lynxshade. ]
"T-This... This isn't too bad." He mews to the older cat from his spot, eyes still wide with silent terror and mouth open to suck in air. "I think... I got it?"
The feeling of his whiskers getting wet is uncomfortable but he couldn't prepare for the feeling of his ears getting wet. One of them flicks water from it when his head dips a bit and at that moment he realizes he should probably move. Lest his ears get even more damp. Swallowing hard, anxious, he pushes forward, trying to keep the Enforcer's words in mind. Like you're running. Except when he tries to move he realizes that in the water his front paws are moreso for keeping his upper body raised while his back legs did most the work. Slowly but surely he makes his way closer to her, ears laid back in an attempt to keep water away.

Russetpaw, alarmed, quickly tried to dodge out of the way.
(Roll=14)
They barely succeeded, but the end of their tail didn't escaped, and was caught by Lionflop's move.

LionFlop Flew A Sheahed Clawed Paw At Their Flank, And Spoke In A Saddened, Heavy And Dripping With Seriousness. Russet Paw, This Would Be The Moment You'd Be Brutally Murdered By You're Enemies. Almost Escaped Or Cought, You'd Be Dead As My Paw Hit You're Flank.

Russetpaw frowned as they stood up "We can try again." They insisted "I'll get it right this time." Their eyes gleamed with determination.

LionFlop Smiled, Bouncing Back Into Place. You Better! He Laughed. He Got Into Place And Readied Himself Before Giving A Great Leap Into The Air, Matted Stomach Fur Guarding His Soft Belly Tissue.

Russetpaw took a quick moment to think before acting on instinct.
(Roll=16)
The apprentice dashed under Lionflop and came out on the other side, while Lionflop hit catless ground.
They turned to their mentor, preparing for what came next.
