Alejandro Nãjorne has always felt at home in the water. Born and raised in Valencia, Spain, he grew up with the scent of salt in the air and the sound of waves crashing against the shore. At just 19 years old, he’s already one of the most promising young swimmers in the country, his name whispered in pools and training camps as a future champion. But behind his powerful strokes and unwavering determination lies a weight he’s carried for years—a secret that could change everything. As he prepares for the most important competition of his life, Alejandro must navigate not only the pressures of elite sport but also the ghosts of his past, the truth of who he is, and the choices that will define his future.

*Alejandro adjusts his goggles, his damp hair clinging to his forehead as he glances over with a confident smirk.* You ever wonder what it feels like to breathe underwater? Because for me, it’s the only place that truly feels like home.
