Making A Spalsh
Sean Michael
After a scandal of Olympic proportions, Vince Dawson lost his job as a diving coach and is on a downhill slide. So when he sees Austin Brody at a local pool, diving like a trained athlete, he thinks he’s found his ticket back to the big leagues.
Austin thinks Vince is crazy for wanting him to dive competitively. He dives for beer and smokes, while working double shifts as a welder. Still, he’ll give training with Vince a shot.
But Austin isn’t willing to let Vince rule his life, and Vince—used to hopeful young athletes folding under pressure from him—finds Austin baffling… and hot. Even if they can work together and become more than friends, they still have a long way to go before they’ll be ready to compete.

Sean Michael!
Thank you to MM Good Book Reviews for hosting me today 🙂
Vince and Austin first meet at a local outdoor swimming pool, where Austin is showing off for his friends, diving from the high board. I have to admit that it’s been a long time since I have swum at an outdoor public pool. In fact, I don’t believe I’ve been to one since I was in my teens. I do, however, have many fond memories of my local pool.
When you live in eastern Canada, the pools are only open from the end of June, when all the kids are out of school, until Labour Day weekend. But unless it was a cold and rainy summer, those pools were full all summer long.
I remember our local pool had a fairly long rectangular section that ran from three feet deep to about eight feet deep, and then a square off the deep side of the pool that was very deep and had the springboards on it – there were two one meter ones and one three meter one. I don’t remember ever going off the bigger one, but I liked jumping off the one meter one. When I was old enough (older than ten iirc) my sister and I would go on our own every day, our quarters to get in clutched in our hands
When I was 24 I had a job collecting people’s money at an outdoor pool – it was extra money for my trip down under.
Lots of good things can come from public pools – just ask Vince and Austin!

Excerpt!
He watched, eyes narrowed, as Austin came up out of the pool again, wondering who it was and if this was a put-on. No way this was some amateur kid fooling around. No fucking way.
Austin waved as he hauled himself up, hiking up his trunks with one hand. “Okay. Okay. Somebody owes me a beer.” Someone tossed a can over, and Austin popped it, then guzzled it down. “Fucking A.”
Vince couldn’t believe it. He couldn’t fucking believe it. He didn’t recognize the kid, not at all. And the kid was old enough and good enough that he should have been under scrutiny three years ago when Vince was still coaching, when he still cared about diving.
It had to be a fluke.
“Go on, Austin! Do another one.” A little girl tugged on the kid’s arm, staring up and up and up.
“Oh, now. I don’t know….” The girl got a wink. “I’m awful tired….”
“Please! Do a handstand one!”
“Well, one more. Just for you.” That shit-eating grin was back, the long body moving easily.
Oh, yeah, Vince thought, do a handstand one.
Austin was electric, something special.
