Answer:

She walked into the glimmering water, he followed quickly behind.

Step-by-step explanation:

This sentence is worded better. Like other adverbs of manner (slowly, thoughtfully, excitedly, etc.), quickly is most often placed before the main verb, especially if the verb has a direct object.
