There might also be a coach or a trainer character. This person could play an important role in preparing the swimmers for the contest, providing guidance and motivation. They could also influence the swimmers' performance and their mental state during the competition.
Another theme could be pride. The participants in the contest might be driven by their pride, either to prove themselves or to uphold their honor. In the story, their actions and decisions during the contest could be influenced by this sense of pride.
The full story of the swimming contest may have a plot centered around a swimmer's quest for a record. They have been training hard for months or even years to break a particular swimming record. As the contest begins, they are in a great form and seem likely to achieve their goal. But then there are some unforeseen challenges like a strong current in the pool or a very tough competitor who is also aiming for the same record. The story could then be about how the swimmer overcomes these challenges or fails to do so. Additionally, a plot could be about a charity swimming contest, where the swimmers are not only competing for victory but also to raise funds for a good cause, and the story would include elements of the swimmers' motivation for participating in such an event.
I'm sorry, I don't know the specific 'the swimming contest full story' you mentioned. It could be about a regular swimming competition between two teams or individuals. Maybe it involves a close race, with swimmers using different strokes like freestyle, backstroke, breaststroke or butterfly. There could be a story of an underdog coming from behind to win, or a story of a swimmer overcoming an injury to participate in the contest.
I'm not sure specifically as I don't know which 'the contest short story' you are referring to. It could be about a competition, perhaps a writing contest where the story itself is either the entry or about the experiences within the contest.
