[It happened so quickly Peeta doesn't register the need to swim until he's already well under the water. He's frozen for a moment before choking on the water and kicking towards what he hopes is the surface, trying to focus on his recent swimming practice instead of the conflicting memories trying to push at the back of his mind.
Partly because of the practice, and partly because of luck, he does break the surface, his head striking one of the broken pieces of the boat. He grabs onto it desperately, coughing hard and trying to lift himself up enough to see where the others are.]
