As the swimmers break the surface tension of the water, our visions of the Dark Lord dissipate, only to form again the next time the submerged faces come up for air.

The swimmer seems to be perfectly wrapped in glass thanks to a well known physics phenomenom called surface tension. From the Wikipedia: Surface tension is a contractive tendency of the surface of ...
