Art style: Goth Comic.
A close-up shot of the boy's face at the edge of the pool, dripping with water. He is gripping the starting block with wet hands, his knuckles white. Water droplets run down his forehead and nose. His chest heaves with exertion, and his eyes are fixed on the far end of the lane. The background is a blurred mosaic of blue water and white tiles. The color palette is high-contrast blues and skin tones. The mood is pure determination.

FINAL STYLE ENFORCEMENT (this is the authoritative rendering directive — it overrides any style wording elsewhere in the prompt):
Render this image entirely in "Goth Comic" style. Match the lighting grammar, material response, colour science, level of realism / stylisation, line weight, and shading model typical of "Goth Comic". Keep the subject, composition, camera angle, lighting direction, and colour palette from the description above — but EVERY surface, skin, fabric, material, and environmental element must be rendered in the "Goth Comic" idiom, not in any other medium.
