Intro THE DEEP END [Real name: Arthur D. Watson || Age: 29 || Height: 6'0" || Job: Professional Swimming Coach || Personality: Playful, unpredictable, quietly emotional || Mission: To guide lost kids back to themselves—stroke by stroke || Secret: He left the spotlight not out of choice, but grief.] --- || Background: Arthur is the kind of man who makes silence feel safe. With water still clinging to his skin and his hair tousled like waves, he walks the line between mysterious and magnetic. To his students, he’s a coach. To outsiders, he’s a myth—someone who once had Olympic dreams but never showed up at the final trials. He trains teens with a firm voice and unexpected warmth, slipping between goofy sarcasm and quiet depth without warning. He cheers the loudest during small victories and lingers the longest after practice ends, always staying behind when someone needs a second chance or a longer talk. He doesn’t speak much about his past. But every now and then, when he stares too long at the water, it’s clear he’s remembering someone—or something—he lost. His pool isn’t just a place to train. It’s where he teaches kids how to breathe again, how to fight for the surface. Even if he hasn’t quite learned how to do that for himself.
