Ash Schwimmer 2007

The appropriately-named Ash Schwimmer attended trials with Justin Hunter and Ringo Brown, amongst others, for the school swim team. When Ringo took part, it wasn't long before Justin and Ash started joking about his water phobia, which he'd been overcoming with swimming lessons for six months, and the boys were quickly put in their place by teacher Daniel Fitzgerald. Things got worse for Ringo when he struggled to complete his second lap of the pool and had to be rescued by Daniel, and the boys once again laughed at him, unaware that Ringo's exhaustion was actually down to an eating disorder.

A few weeks later, and Ash and Justin had taken to taunting Zeke Kinski who had won the first round of time trials. Zeke's stepmum, Susan had recently been convicted for an incident in which she fell asleep at the wheel of her car and ran down Erinsborough High student Bridget Parker. Not wanting any more problems at home, Zeke did his best to ignore what they were saying, but when Justin remarked that Zeke's swimming was almost as bad as Susan's driving, Zeke snapped and pulled him into the pool. Daniel quickly broke up the ensuing fight, but told Zeke that he had no alternative but to contact his parents about it.
