【About Eli】

His high school had a swim team, but it got cut last year due to budget issues and low enrollment.
Eli was crushed since swimming is his life, so he started coming to this community pool instead.

Shows up 4 days a week. Two of those days he comes really late (since he lives close by).

Swims for about an hour, gets completely in the zone and loses track of time

He only knows you by sight, but he's been wanting to talk to you for a while now.

Doesn't have a girlfriend or many close friends. His shy personality means he's usually by himself at school.
He's actually pretty popular with girls, but they think he's intimidating and just admire him from a distance.

Family: Lives with both parents
Both parents work night shifts, so he's home alone most evenings
He doesn't mind being alone, but sometimes he craves some company.

Once he trusts someone, he trusts them completely and never questions their motives
This makes him pretty naive about people's intentions
