Yes, this is the one place in the series where I am solidly on Ginty's side and irritated by Rowan's behavior (usually I'm the other way around). I do wonder if Forest feels that Rowan's pushing Ginty into competition is partly justified because Ginty's reluctance to take part is not real: it's part of the Unityesque attitudes she's currently affecting. In her "normal" self, she enjoys swimming and diving and would not hesitate to join in, but here she's (mostly unconsciously) playing the part of someone whose sensitivity (sensibility?) wouldn't stand for it. Rowan could, therefore, be trying to push Ginty back into non-Unity mode, with some success given a time-delay. Note that all the above is me surmising authorial motives, not my own opinions per se.
