Panel 1
 The shallow end of a swimming pool. A swimmer says "I got tired of hearing About so-called 'Infinity pools', so I created a genuine one. This is my first length". 
"Good luck!" replies an onlooker standing by the steps.

Panels 2-4
The onlooker waits for the swimmer to come back. Time passes. The sun sets and rises. the onlooker ages.
 
 Panel 5
"Impressive." says the onlooker, now old and walking with a stick.
