 '''''In the Swim''''' is a ''[[Simpsons Comics]]'' story first printed in {{SC|134}}.
 == Plot ==
-[[Mr. Burns]] has organized a boat cruise for employees and their families. While on the trip, [[Lisa]] discovers that Mr. Burns only arranged the party to dump nuclear waste into the [[Springfield Channel]], but she can not do anything about it as Burns said that everyone on the boat is now an accomplice. Burns continues to dump waste but ends up falling overboard with [[Carl]]. After [[Smithers]] and [[Lenny]] failed to save him, [[Homer]] jumps into the lake and manages to save them. Back home, over dinner, Lisa tells Homer that he only managed to save them because he's fat and he should eat more vegetables and healthy food, but he decides instead, with [[Bart]] and [[Barney]], that the household now bans vegetables.
+The families of [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] employees are aboard [[Mr. Burns]]' yacht, the ''[[Gone Fission]]'', for a family fun cruise on the [[Springfield Channel]]. However, [[Lisa]] isn't happy about it because the cruise is being used to distract people from Burns and [[Smithers]] dumping nuclear waste into the water. Lisa asks Burns if he's worried about karma, but he isn't. However, his jacket gets caught on one of the nuclear barrels as it goes overboard, taking Burns with it. Smithers jumps off the deck to rescue his boss, but hits [[Carl]] who is looking out of a porthole below. [[Lenny]] eats a can of spinach and jumps in to rescue his friend, but gets stomach cramps. Homer then falls in and everyone holds onto him as he's so fat, he doesn't sink.
-Homer is at work and Mr. Burns has decided to give him a reward for saving his life, the reward being that he will swim through the Springfield Channel and, despite not wanting to do it, Homer is forced to accept the proposal. Meanwhile, it is time for lunch at the school, but Lisa has just got eggs and cheese from Marge and the school has no vegetables in the cafeteria, so she leaves school to find something to eat. Lisa meets [[Gil]], dressed up like to a carrot mascot, who gives her a flyer for Seth and Munchie's Organic Vegetable Patch, while [[Seth]] and [[Munchie]] dismiss him because he is taking vegetables from their crop. They offer Lisa the job and she accepts it. Homer will now swim the channel, while [[Jesse Grass|Jesse]] releases an orca back into the wild from captivity. Homer begins to swim and soon meets and speaks to the whale, that recognizes Homer, who teased him for 30 years, and he starts attacking Homer, who wants to stop swimming but can't as Burns will fire him.
+At the Springfield Channel, Homer is still swimming while keeping an eye out for the orca. Homer throws a fish into the orca's mouth, which he thinks will appease the creature, but it attacks him again anyway. Meanwhile, Lisa's costume is now battered and she's too hot. It starts raining, which soaks the costume and makes it too heavy for her. The mascots then come back to confront her again. Back at the Springfield Channel, Homer sees the finish line. However, the orca approaches him again and refuses to let him finish. Back on the streets of Springfield, Lisa has finally had enough of the mascots and takes her costume off before pushing them all over. However, her costume rolls down a hill and into the Springfield Channel. The orca sees it and eats it, thinking it's an actual carrot. Homer then crosses the finish line successfully. As he insults the whale to the crowd, the orca is revealed to have grown legs due to the nuclear waste in the water and chases Homer onto land.
-Lisa has started her new job but quickly is thrown into a garbage can by the mascots from the [[Krusty Burger]], where they consider that she have taken over their areas. She is determined not to give up, but no one wants to come near her as she smells so bad. Homer is close to the target when the whale starts to attack him again, prompting Marge to ask Burns to let Homer pull out, but he refuses. Lisa meets the mascots again and they start to bully her. Lisa becomes enraged and takes off her mascot costume, and begins to beat up the other mascots, which is easy since they have costumes on. Meanwhile Lisa's mascot costume began to roll down towards the river and it landed in the water> The orca starts to chew it, which allows Homer to continue to swim towards the target. Homer is celebrating his success when the orca hunts him and the entire audience, having grown human legs due to the nuclear waster in the water. The Simpsons are eating dinner again. Bart asks what happened after the orcas started hunting, but Marge announces that it is only important that everything is fine and as a carrot (Lisa's mascot clothing) rescued the family, they have started eating vegetables again, but Lisa is still sad as the rest of the family has decided that she should wear the costume at the dinner.
+At dinner that evening, the family has vegetables again because a giant carrot saved Homer's life. However, the family voted to have Lisa keep wearing the carrot costume, which annoys her as she wants to take it off.
