She was introduced to all of the members after getting there and she was familiarized with the meet up schedule and when they had days where they weren't going to do meet ups, soon they all started to talk about how they would partake in local championships by swimming against other teams.
Twilight started to work out a lot more due to joining as she wanted to be strong and fast enough to swim with the team, she also swam daily so she could get extra practice in, Spike started to go to her meet ups as well as he liked to cheer her on and brag how he new her to other people there.
Rainbow Dash celebrated with Twilight for starting out great with the swim team, Rainbow Dash made sure to go to every event that the Ponyville swim team did. She was still a newbie though and she had a tough time improving but she persevered through it and improved.
Twilight made sure to loose weight and gain strength so she could be in shape for future meet ups, she was nervous at first when she joined up as the members doubted her abilities but after a while they started to like her. They grew to respect her and they even let her be a communicator for the team which she appreciated.
Twilight had fun swimming with them everyday as they had fun swimming with her, she made sure to never mess up and they told her that they appreciated that and they also said that if she did make mistakes they won't get mad at her which relieved her.
Twilight also continued to swim for fun and some of her friends swam with her, she also swam for fun with some of the team members, she knew that someday she should thank Rainbow Dash, she decided to do that soon as she didn't want to forget about it and offend Rainbow Dash as she was truly grateful for Rainbow Dash to teach her.
Rainbow Dash was so happy for Twilight and she knew that Twilight would thank her later on but for now she just let Twilight enjoy herself, she knew that her work was done, she had succeeded in helping Twilight learn how swim. She did excellent when Rainbow Dash taught her and they both noticed that.
Rainbow Dash and Twilight couldn't wait to talk about all of the great things that have happened for Twilight, Rainbow Dash knew that Twilight was going to be a great swimmer and a good example of what a swimmer was supposed to be. Twilight won several trophies in individual races that she participated in as well and her swim team and her friends congradualted her on these competitions as well.
Twilight got stronger over the coarse of several weeks as a result of training, she helped the team in a few competitions which her friends and Rainbow Dash was at some just so they could see Twilight swim, they cheered for her during the ones they could get to as they couldn't get to all the races which Twilight understood
Twilight loved the fact that Rainbow Dash and her friends could go to some of her races and cheer her on as it meant a lot, she knew her friends cared about her progress as a swimmer, after the races she would invite her friends to go to dinner with the swim team and the swim team didn't mind her inviting them.
Twilight invited Spike to all of her races as well since he was her friend to and he cheered her on along with Twilight's friends, Spike was also invited to go to the dinner with her team members and her friends, due to this happening Twilight's friends included him in anything they did as they realized how badly he has been treated, their relationship with Spike improved and they apologized to him about how he had been treated in the past and he said that they were forgiven.
Twilight's family also tried to go to her team's swimming competitions, they made it to some but couldn't make it to others which Twilight understood as they were busy with their own stuff, they told her that they were proud of her which made her happy. Celestia also congratulated her on learning how to swim and she even swam with her in Canterlot Castle's indoor pool.
Twilight was shocked to discover that Canterlot castle had a pool as she never knew that it did have a pool but after that she thought that it was a pretty neat thing that Canterlot castle had pool, she swam in it with Celestia and Luna when she could, she also raced Twilight at the center's pool where she learned how to swim, both of them won several races against eachother.
Her friends watched them race eachother some times as well and they cheered them both on as they were happy that either of them won as they didn't pick either one over the other as they were their best friends altough the placed bets on who would win sometimes but other an that they were thrilled when they both won, they all had fun whenever they did this so they did it whenever they could as they were happy that they could do this with eachother.
Twilight was so happy that her dream had finally had come true and she made sure to thank Rainbow Dash when she got the time, she planned to thank Rainbow Dash during the week so that she could get it out of the way so that she didn't forget to thank her later on if she didn't have time during the other days.
