[Oh it's certainly possible to swim in more fabric, especially since once they get out a little further they'll be using the currents to propel themselves more than swimming, but it's annoying and he doesn't want to deal with it today. Percy blinks as his eyes shift from air-vision to water-vision and he orients himself more carefully, dropping down another twenty feet or so to catch the undertow and let it drag him out to sea, knowing Annie will be able to keep up. She's just as at home in water as he is, after all.]
[Various sea life call out to them as they pass, because not one but two children of the sea god are there and that's a big deal since they've only ever seen Percy before. He returns their greetings but doesn't stop, and as he cuts through the water he's sending his thoughts out ahead of them, trying to get the attention of the creatures he knows are somewhere nearby- there. About fifty meters farther out. He turns back to beckon Annie forward, slowing to a stop in the water because they know the two of them are there now and are swimming as fast as they can to meet them.]
[And so not even a minute later Annie will see three odd yet beautiful creatures speeding at them through the water, bodies like horses but silvery tails like fish, all three of them chattering happily though it's mostly repetitions of "Lord! Lady!" and nothing all that bright. But they're happy and enthusiastic and beautiful, so hopefully Annie will like them.]
