Free! Timeless Medley (2017)

[bunniefuu]

Why didn't you tell me?

Why are you quitting?

Haru...

It's the same.

I...

Why was I dreaming about the past?

Good morning, Haru.

Good morning.

Let's go.

And then, Nagisa still
kept eating after that.

That's Nagisa for you.

And he still b*at
his personal record.

Haru, are you cold?

The breeze is cold.

It's kind of chilly, isn't it?

It's already spring.

It's the scent of spring.

This time of the year
makes me reminisce.

Do you remember?

When we first met?

A dump truck!

Where?

Wow. It's big!

Wait.

Are you okay?

I'm really glad I met you.

Thanks, Little Haru.

- Drop the word "little"...
- Hey!

Haru, Mako.

Nagisa? And Rei!

You're both early.

Spring break is already over.

I'm so excited
to show off the new me.

I can't possibly sleep in!

Wow, Rei you're so motivated.

I think this running
improved my stamina.

You're both doing great!

I hope the four of us will go
as far as we can this year.

Well then, Haruka

is the regular course fine with you?

Yes, that's fine.

So... I'll lead today!

Wait for me, Nagisa!

Haru, let's go.

So that's the plan
for recruiting new students.

This will catch everyone's attention

and we'll get new members
with amazing muscles!

Yeah!

This is the Iwatobi Swim Club
member introduction.

Treasurer!

Second year. Hazuki Nagisa.

My speciality is breaststroke.

My best feature is the soleus muscle.

Assistant Captain!

Third year. Nanase Haruka.

My speciality is freestyle.

My best feature is
my triceps brachii muscle.

Secretary!

Second year. Ryugazaki Rei.

My speciality is butterfly.

My best feature is
my deltoid and biceps muscles.

And our captain!

Third year. Tachibana Makoto.

My speciality is backstroke.

My best feature is
my trapezius muscle.

We're waiting for new members
with lovely muscles!

Welcome to the Swim Club

Why?

And we tried so hard.

Well, all we did was
show off our muscles.

Wow, Haruka?

Thank you.

Does that mean he matured?

Yes.

Honestly, I was surprised
by last year's race too.

But Nanase and the rest seemed
to have learned something from it.

As their counsellor

I'd think about
what I could do for them

but was always unsure.

I find myself
being encouraged by them instead.

Many things have happened

but I'm glad he's come to terms
with his team as well as swimming.

Ever since he was little,
he was so stubborn

only wanting to swim freestyle.

They're at that age

where they're constantly growing.

Youth is a wonderful thing.

But Haruka is already
in his third year.

So is Makoto. I hope
they're thinking about their future.

I'm sure they'll be fine.

Because they're so earnest
about swimming.

I hope you're right.

By the way

have you thought about
what to do after graduation?

Not really.

Why not?

Rin, you're aiming
for the world, right?

Yeah, but I've wasted
so much time already.

This summer's Nationals
is my last chance.

If I go, I can be scouted.

I'll set a record
and fulfil my dream.

Haru, Makoto.

What are you going to do?

I...

haven't decided yet.

You haven't thought about it?

This is a city competition

so we only have
volunteers competing...

Rin!

Anyway, those new to competing
can get the feel of it here.

- That's it.
- Yes...

Rin really looked like a captain.

"I'll k*ll you
if you don't do your best"

is what I thought he'd say.

That's going too far.

You're all late.

Goro, you're swimming too?

Yes.

There's a general competition too.

It's laid back,
unlike the Prefecturals.

This isn't bad.

But the swimmers lack toned muscles.

Too bad there are no relays either.

I know.

But we can swim at the Prefecturals.

Waiting for me?

- Rin.
- I've been waiting, Haru.

Our lanes are next
to each other again.

You guys couldn't swim much
this winter, right?

I can give you a head start.

That's not necessary.

We couldn't swim,
but we were training.

You seem motivated.

Show me the result...

I'm going to win!

No, I will.

I won't lose.

We can't compete in a relay today.

So it's a race against you and me.

I don't care about numbers.

You're still saying that?

Even if you're not
interested in winning

you still think
you're the best, right?

I'll fire up
that cold heart of yours.

Next are Haru and Rin.

Brother!

- Haru!
- Haruka!

Ready.

They're both fast.

Their distance is growing.

Haru, don't give up.

Haruka!

They're in a league of their own.

Haru is amazing.

He's slowly catching up to Rin.

It's a...

Tie.

The swimmers in the fourth and
fifth lanes, Nanase and Matsuoka

have set a new competition record.

Haru.

You did get fired up.

Not really.

Let's do the coastal route today.

Sure.

Since it's warm

let's increase our distance
to prepare for the competition.

- Hey, Haru.
- What is it?

What do you plan to do?

About what?

What Rin said.

What are you going to do?

I don't care as long as I can swim.

Typical of you.

One more day
until the Prefectural Tournament!

Tomorrow is
the Prefectural Tournament!

Tomorrow is the Prefecturals.

Everyone, please rest well tonight.

Tomorrow we'll meet
in the hall at eight.

Tardiness is prohibited.

Is that okay?

Yes.

We're all ready.

We even have matching swimwear.

That's right.

Let's confirm our events
just in case.

Day one is the individual event.

Day two is the relay.

For the individuals

Nagisa will be
in the 100m breaststroke.

- Rei, 100m butterfly.
- Yes.

Haru, 100m and 200m freestyle.

I'm in the 100m backstroke
and 200m freestyle.

But Tachibana, why did you choose


In the 100m freestyle,
I'm no match against Haru.

Makoto has been working

towards the goal of 200m

by increasing your training.

I still need to work harder
to swim next to Haru.

Hey Haru.

I have a favour to ask.

Men's 100m breaststroke, third group.

First is Nagisa's breaststroke.

Ready.

Go.

Go, go, go, Nagisa.

Go, go, go, Nagisa.

Push forward, Nagisa.

Push forward, Nagisa.

Go!

Nagisa's leading!

They're catching up.

It's okay.

Nagisa's arms will extend
before he reaches the finish line.

Nagisa did it.
He passed the preliminary.

Yay!

Good job, Nagisa!

Makoto's backstroke is up next!

Continue the streak and go win.

Yep!

Men's 100m backstroke will now start.

Ready.

Go.

Go, go, go, Makoto.

Go, go, go, Makoto.

Push forward, Makoto.

Mako is so fast.

Makoto passed the preliminary.

Yay!

Now it's time for my turn.

I will show everyone
the perfect butterfly stroke.

Rei, that's an ominous phrase.

Ready.

Go.

Despite seeming ominous

Rei also passed the preliminary.

Good job, Rei.

Thank you very much.

Tachibana, Hazuki, Ryugazaki

you all did well.

You all qualified for
the Regionals in the individuals.

Freestyle is in the afternoon.

For Haru,
we can assume he's already won.

Makoto, you're going
to swim freestyle too?

- Yes.
- That's exciting.

Hey.

Don't forget about my brother's race
with Haruka.

Haru.

About yesterday...

I know.

Makoto is doing freestyle too?

Ready.

Go.

Makoto passed Haruka?

Tachibana is faster than Nanase?

What is Makoto doing?

Unlike the 100m, the 200m
requires you to conserve energy.

Doesn't he know that?

If he swims like that early on

he won't last until the end.

Hey Haru, I have a favour to ask.

For tomorrow's 200m freestyle

I want you to give your all
and compete with me.

Why?

Why did you decide
to compete in the freestyle?

Do you want to compete
with me that much?

After this summer's tournament

the third-year students
will retire, right?

So before that

I wanted to compete with you, Haru.

What are you swimming for?

It's to swim with you, Haru...

and the rest of the team.

But tomorrow

I'll swim to win against you.

It's the final turn.

Haruka is catching up.

Yes, but Mako's speed
is slowly...

dropping.

Makoto.

I lost!

As expected, you're unbeatable...

Haru.

You're crazy.

Men's 100m freestyle will now start.

It's finally my brother
and Haruka's race.

Ready.

Go.

Go, go, go, Haruka.

Go, go, go, Haruka.

Go, go, go.

Win this, Rin.

What's up with
that overpowering speed

no one can even come close?

Haruka won.

The time difference is...

Only 0.02 seconds.

A-Amazing.

That was an amazing race!

Good job, Nanase.

Yes.

Although it's
a bit complicated for me.

Hey, why did you want
to race with Haru?

I wanted to have
a serious match with Haru.

I wonder why.

Maybe I was envious of Rin.

I see.

You were amazing today.

People will scout you
from all over the country.

Haru, if you are scouted,
what'll you do?

Nothing.

You'll turn it down?

It doesn't matter
if they come or not.

I swim because I want to.

What's wrong?

No, nothing.

Good night, Haru.

No hard feelings, no matter who wins.

But you'd better make it
to the Regionals.

I don't have to be told that.

I let you win the freestyle yesterday

but not today.

Those two will be okay.

Take your stand.

Ready.

Go.

His reaction time?

It's okay. Tachibana can recover.

Good job, Momo!

He's ahead of the others.

Go, go, go.

Makoto is catching up.

You can do it, Nagisa!

He's not speeding up towards
the end like he usually does.

Samezuka is still leading
as he touched the wall.

Rei is doing his best

but he can't catch up.

Haru!

Haru!

Rin turned first.

Yes!

Good job, Samezuka!

They lost.

But they still passed.

They qualify for the Regionals.

Well done.

You're number one, bro!

Good job!

Our Swim Club qualifies for
the National Championship!

They made it for us this year.

Last year they recycled
the one from the Judo Club.

But why doesn't it feel gratifying?

Of course, that's because
we lost to Samezuka.

Makoto and Nagisa,
aren't you frustrated?

I am extremely frustrated.

Although we qualified
for the Regionals

we still lost to Samezuka
in the relay.

Let's practise.

Yes.

Look at this.

Makoto, Rei, and Nagisa

you all qualified for the Regionals
in the individuals.

But time-wise, you barely passed.

Athletes from Samezuka are on top.

As expected, time-wise,
we are behind Samezuka.

The only event we're leading in
is freestyle with Haruka.

Iwatobi is nowhere
near b*ating Samezuka just yet.

Everyone, don't settle
for the results you got.

Keep training...

Oh no, it's an emergency!

What happened, Ms Ama?

We got a call...

from a scout...

for Nanase.

They saw your 100m freestyle
the day before yesterday.

I see.

Haru, you did it!

This opens up possibilities
for you after graduation.

There is a saying

"Tomorrow is another day

but whether you decide to..."

Haru.

I wonder what Haruka wants to do?

Haru wrote "free"
on his career questionnaire.

Free?

What is that?

Did he mean a part-time job?

I don't think so.

Then, a freelance swimmer?

Not that, either.

Then what?

I don't know

but to Haru, free is free.

I don't get it.

But that's very typical of Haruka.

We had another call today...

Nanase is his usual self.

My brother is getting
a lot of calls too.

So, Haruka will be okay too.

Soon enough,
he'll be motivated to choose.

Is that what Haru wants?

By the way, have you chosen
what to do after graduation?

I haven't made a decision yet,
but I might go to a local college.

Is that so?

Mako, you got "Excellent Luck".

"The person you're waiting for
will arrive.

Will win every contest.
Good time to start a new adventure.

The direction is North and East."

For me

no matter what others say,
I love the way you swim.

There's no theory or calculation,
but I felt a strong force

and it made me want
to swim the way you do.

Freely.

Rei.

So, you should stay free.

The word "free" has many meanings.

But I believe that the real meaning
is not to be bound by anything

and to have an independent heart.

So, no matter what you choose

as long as you can be yourself

you are free.

Sorry, I didn't mean
to tell you what to do.

Haru, you came up with
this training plan?

I added it to Gou's plan.

You added relay transition practice.

Since we are slower

you're planning to make up the time
with shorter transitions.

- Yes.
- With our team work

we can definitely gain
some time to b*at Samezuka.

I want to swim with all of you.

That feeling is important to me.

Haruka.

Let's go. The four of us.

We'll b*at Samezuka,
and go to the Nationals.

Yes.

- Good evening.
- Good evening.

Coach Sasabe.

Hey, it's Makoto.

The swim club is very lively.

I'm very happy
but we're short-staffed

so it's busy.

I'm sorry I can't watch you practise.

No problem.

Well, Coach Sasabe

about the record
from the Prefecturals...

Coach Sasabe! Hurry up!

Hold on.

I'll be there soon.

Coach Sasabe.

Can I help with anything?

- Really?
- Yes.

Whatever I can do.

Mako, you started
helping out at Goro's place?

Coach Sasabe has helped me a lot

so I wanted to do
something in return.

But we can't just leave you
to do it by yourself.

We'll help too.

Right, Rei?

Of course.

Thank you.

But Nagisa and Rei,
you both have things to do.

But...

Haruka, aren't you worried too?

I'm going to swim.

Makoto can do what he likes.

- Haru.
- Haruka.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.

Coach Tachibana,
what are we doing today?

Let's start by practising our kicks.

Okay!

Thank you very much.

Bye, Coach Tachibana.

Bye.

Goodbye.

Hayato.

What's wrong?

Was it not fun today?

I hate...

swimming.

Hayato!

Kisumi!

Sorry, I'm late.

Kisumi?

Shigino Kisumi?

Is that you?

Makoto?

Long time no see, Kisumi.

Yeah. Long time no see.

Since elementary school, right?

Is there a reason why
Hayato hates swimming?

If you know why, I'd like to know.

It's probably my fault.

One time, our family went
for a boat ride out at sea.

Hayato got excited, lost his balance

and fell off the boat.

We immediately saved him,
so he wasn't hurt

but it must've scared him a lot.

I see.

He doesn't like
the swimming class at school

so I want to help him learn
how to swim at his own pace

at this swim class.

- Kisumi...
- But if Hayato isn't enjoying it...

I...

want to help Hayato to swim.

Makoto.

Hayato reminds me of myself
when I was young.

That's why I don't want anyone
to give up.

Including you and Hayato.

Makoto, you must
really love swimming.

Makoto, please take care of Hayato.

Let me know
if there's anything I can do.

Thank you.

Haru!

Haru?

Long time no see.

It reminds me of
when we were in middle school.

It was after Rin went abroad

and you looked so lonely.

Kisumi, did you
go to elementary with Rin?

Yeah.

And Sosuke too.

Makoto.

- Oh, it's so late.
- Let's go.

You're so unfriendly, Haru.

This is a long-awaited reunion.

We can meet again.

You're right.

Kisumi!

Hayato!

Bye, Makoto.

And you too, Haru.

We should get going too.

But Hayato seemed so scared,
I don't know where to even start.

What was it that helped you?

Wouldn't that give you the answer?

In my case...

when I saw the sky

doing the backstroke.

I wasn't scared after that.

But getting him started
with the backstroke

is not how it's usually done.

That doesn't matter.

Just do it your way.

Haru...

You're right.

I'll try it.

Hayato, let's try
something different today.

No need to go under water.

You can swim
while looking at the sky.

There's no way that's possible.

I'll support your body, so relax.

You'll never drown.

It's impossible because...

because...

I'm scared.

It's okay.

I'll never let go of your hands.

It won't be scary?

I promise.

Hayato.

You can do it.

Let's go.

Slowly move forward
as if you're cutting the water.

Hayato, open your eyes.

Wow, that's a backstroke!

Hayato!

Hayato!

Hayato!

Thank you very much.

Hayato.

Well, I'm no longer...

scared of swimming.

It was fun.

It's because you tried.

Thank you, Coach Tachibana.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Makoto.

We just hired a new employee.

So we'll be okay now.

You don't have to come in
after next week.

What? You're not happy?

No worries.

Okay then. Be careful
on your way home.

Okay.

You guys...

You're still practising?

Ms Ama.

Go home on time
or you'll get into trouble.

The Regionals are next week

so we want to practise
as much as we can.

The transitions really depend on
the amount of practice.

- One more time, please.
- Sure.

Transition practice?

Yes.

For us to be evenly matched
with the stronger teams

we need to shorten
the transition times.

Anticipate the moment
he'll touch the wall

then as he goes to touch the wall,
drop your body forward

then kick off
the moment he touches the wall.

The ideal transition time
is zero seconds.

But transitioning that quickly,
what if you go too quickly?

Yes, we'll be disqualified.

But we can't be afraid of that.

If we master this timing,
then we can shorten our record.

What are you doing so late?

Sir!

And Mr Principal!

We're so sorry!
We were about to leave.

No, no, it's okay.

But, Nanase

it seems like you have been scouted.

That's amazing. We're proud of you!

Everyone is focused on you
at the Regionals.

Please work hard.

Yes.

What a big hotel.

It's so different from last year.

Maybe Gou
and the teacher are here

and we're put in a tent?

Similar to
the training camp last year?

What are you saying?

Yes. You guys are the star.

But there is a famous quote.

"Nothing is more expensive
than something that is free.

That price is priceless."

I've been handed plenty of funds
from Mr Amagata.

So please eat whatever you want.

Anything we want?

I want this.

How cute.

Mackerel.

Haru...

Captain Mikoshiba?

Why is he here?

Gou and Nanase!

Good evening.

Who is that?

This is Mr Toudo who's in charge
of scouting for our university.

Scout?

As an alumnus, I wanted to introduce
him to the students in Samezuka.

- Nanase? From Iwatobi High School?
- Yes.

He knows about Haruka?

Of course, I do.

You're Nanase, right?

Freestyle, Nanase Haruka.

After seeing your swim
at the Prefecturals

no one can forget.

Not just our university

but the other schools
are interested in you too.

I believe

that you have unlimited possibilities
with your talent.

You can't waste that talent.

You can go to a much higher place.

I look forward
to seeing you tomorrow.

What? Haru isn't here?

He was gone
when I came out of the shower.

Maybe he went for a run.

What?

Tomorrow is an important event
with so many scouts coming.

What is he doing?

Did you want to talk to him?

I wanted to make sure
and see if he had made a decision.

But it seems like
he's continuing to run away.

What is he thinking?

But I'm sure
Haru is thinking about it

in his own way.

Even if he doesn't say it.

How are we to know that?

And, what are you going to do?

With your talent,
I'm sure you'll get scouted too.

I...

Haru, Mako, listen to this.

Rin?

You guys, why are you up so late
the night before the event?

It's only eleven.

What are you doing here?

I came to see Haru.

But he's not here, so I'll leave.

Wait, Rin.

We won't lose tomorrow.

That's my line.

We're proud of you.

Work hard.

Don't waste your talent.

You're our hope.

So bright.

It's finally here, Haru.

What?

Today's race.

There are probably
many people here to scout you.

I don't care.

Theoretically speaking

it's impossible for Haruka
to go unnoticed by the scouts.

That's enough.

Nanase's swim is amazing.

There is a famous quote

"Don't run away.
You'll end up at a dead end."

Haruka.

Look, my brother is waiting.

Hey, let's go, Haru.

Ready.

Nanase.

Swim and show us
your freestyle strokes!

It's finally here.

I'm so nervous.

What's wrong, Haru?

Nothing.

Isn't that the scout
from the university?

That person over there too.

There are so many of them.

If you swim well here, you'll get
many offers from different schools.

Haru...

Hey, Haru.

Are you really okay?

Yeah. It's nothing.

It's almost time.

Let's go, Haru.

Everyone, please do your best.

Yes.

Let's each give our best

and do all that we can.

Let's go!

Men's 100m backstroke.

Makoto!

Mako!

Ready.

Go.

Go, go, go, Makoto!

Go, go, go, Makoto!

Push forward, Makoto!

Push forward, Makoto!

Last, last, last.

Last, last, last.

Good job!

It's a higher level
than the Prefecturals.

This is the Regionals.

Makoto didn't qualify for the finals.

Haru, have you decided?

Not really.

What do you mean, not really?

After Prefecturals,
a couple of the scouts contacted me.

They came to you too, right?

Never mind.

Let's talk about this after the race.

I'm going now.

Men's 100m freestyle.

Next up is Haruka.

Ready.

Go.

Haru...

Haru!

What are you doing?

Why did you do that?

It's none of your business.

Stop fooling around.

The scouts are watching
this important event.

So what?

Because the scouts are watching?

To make a record
in front of the crowd?

That's not what I swim for.

Then what are you swimming for?

For myself and the team.

Then swim for your team

and for yourself.

Don't you know
that it leads to your future?

Don't you have a dream?

Why don't you want to face it?

You can...

You're the one that doesn't get it!

What's the dream? What's the future?

That's all yours.

I'm not like you.

I don't have those things.

- Haru.
- Haruka.

You were all here?

It's okay.

Nagisa, Rei, Makoto

I...

will swim the relay with you.

That's why I came here.

I didn't qualify for the individual.

Me neither.

But, Rei, you were very close.

You were so dedicated to the race

I can't believe you've only been
swimming for a little over a year.

Thank you.

You too.

You were also close to qualifying.

You swam beautifully.

Thank you, Rei.

Let's work hard on the relay.

Is Haruka alright?

Of course, he is.

Haru said it himself, didn't he?

"I want to swim with you."

Let's believe his words.

You're right.

I can't swim in my usual style.

Let's do our best and qualify.

Yes.

Something
only the Iwatobi team can do.

A person with glasses
once recommended

a book on mental training.

Please tell me more about that book.

Let me think about it.

Please tell me.

Rei, what's the matter?

No, it's nothing.

Congratulations. The medley relay
qualified for the Regionals.

Thank you.

Wow. Hazuki and Ryugazaki
really worked hard.

Haruka and Makoto
swam amazingly too.

At this rate, they can leave
a good record at the Regionals too.

What's the matter?

Since the competition, the time
for the relay wouldn't shorten.

Is Nanase okay?

He didn't look like his usual self
at that competition.

Haru is staying behind
to practise again?

Haruka can't swim the freestyle
at the Nationals, right?

Was that really okay?

What do you mean?

"I only swim the freestyle."

That was Haruka's motto.

I saw Haruka swimming

and it made me want
to swim like that too.

But

instead of swimming the freestyle,
he will only swim the relay.

Maybe we had something
to do with Haruka

becoming the way he is now?

Rei, you think this is a bad thing?

Don't you want to swim
the relay with Haru?

Of course, I do!

But I want Haruka to always
be free and independent.

Haru being free...

It's almost Obon Festival.

Haru, are your parent's coming back?

Towards the end of summer.

You're independent as always.

Oh yeah, let's all go
to the Fireworks Festival.

Invite Nagisa and Rei too.

Yes, let's do that.

Bye.

Haru.

About the career path...

No thanks.

Wait. It's not like that.

Brother!

Welcome back. Dinner is ready.

Join us too, Haru.

Let's eat together.

I'll pass today.

Next time then?

Good night.

Look at this.

I graphed everyone's time sheet.

The relay time is not getting better.

Yes.

After the competition

the individual time
has been improving

but the relay time hasn't.

Our transitions are going well.

Then there's a problem
with us swimming together?

That can't be.

This is a serious problem.

Coach Sasabe said he'd make
changes to the training plan.

So, everyone, please work hard
to find a way out of this rut

before the Nationals.

This is...

Last year, Haruka made
that wooden Iwatobi strap

to acquire new members for the club.

Rei, you kept it!

I wonder if any new students
will join us next year.

Of course, there will be.

Because we are going
to the Nationals.

There's no way new students

will not come into a club
with such achievements.

But after the Nationals end

Haruka and Makoto
will be leaving us, right?

I wonder what Haru will do.

Nagisa...

what do you want to see happen
to Haruka?

I am the same as you, Rei.

I want Haru
to always be true to himself.

So, I don't like
seeing Haru conflicted.

Nagisa...

It's the last competition
where we can all swim together.

But, are we okay the way we are?

I agree.

I think we need to tell
Haru exactly how we feel.

It's beautiful.

Yes.

Hey, Haru.

What is it?

Before we swim at the Nationals

there's something
we need to talk about.

Unless we do

I don't think
we can really be a team.

Haruka

Nagisa and I were both
inspired by your swimming.

When we saw you swim
freely and unrestrained

I wanted to swim just like that.

But now that
you no longer swim the freestyle

your swimming is so unlike you.

Haruka

I want you to swim
in front of a crowd worldwide.

And just like us

if they can be moved by your swim,
and want to swim just like you

I don't think there is anything
more wonderful than that.

Rei...

Nagisa...

I don't know anymore.

Haru.

Haruka.

Thought you'd be here.

Haru...

I also think
that there needs to be a change.

Until now

I always thought it would be fine
as long as you were happy.

No matter what Rin says

I wanted to respect your feelings.

But at the Regionals,
you said to Rin...

What's the dream? What's the future?

That's yours.

I'm not like you.

I don't have those things.

If you really want things
to stay this way

I won't say anything.

But if you just can't find your dream

I...

want you to be able to find it.

You want me to find it.

Can I find it

just by wanting to find it?

Well...

Forget it. This conversation is over.

Wait.

- Let go!
- Listen to me!

It's all the same.

It's not something I can find,
just by searching for it.

I'm fine the way I am.

Stop lying.

You're wanting to find it too.

You need to find it
and go out into the swimming world.

You have that power.

Why are you saying that too?

Where I swim, or whom I swim for

I have the right to choose.

I'm saying that
I am fine the way I am.

It's not okay!

It's not okay! That's why
everyone is telling you this!

Nagisa, Rei, Rin, and even me!

We all love you

and you're special to us.

Why don't you get it?

We want you to see your dream
and your future.

Stop worrying about me!

Stop meddling!

Dream. Future.

Then what about you?

How can you talk
when you haven't even decided?

Say something.

I've decided.

I'm...

going to a university in Tokyo.

I've been wanting to tell you

but didn't have the chance.

I...

Do whatever you want!

Haru!

Who is it?

Rin.

Haru, we're going out today.

Get ready. We're going.

Where to?

Where else?

Australia.

What's the purpose of your visit?

What did he say?

Sightseeing.

Hey.

Hey. Where are you taking me?

Just follow me.

We're getting on that bus.

Hurry up.

Wait. Hey!

Haru went to Australia?

I don't understand.

Why did Rin do that?

I talked to Rin about Haru

but I didn't think that
he would take him to Australia.

What's his purpose?

Who knows.

I don't know either.

But I believe that this will be...

a special trip for Haru.

I hope Haru cheers up.

Rin.

Rin.

Haru.

I bought drinks.

What's wrong?

Don't leave me alone.

Sorry.

At the last competition...

Don't you have a dream?

You don't get it.

I ignored your feelings

and forced my ideas on you.

I'm sorry.

But I just want you to know this.

I've always been...

inspired by you.

I feel better now. Let's go.

Where to?

Stop looking so worried.

How is it?

You feel calmer by the ocean, right?

Let's go.

I don't feel like it.

What's wrong?

Who always takes
his clothes off first?

Shut up.

I thought you would refuse
to come here with me.

I'm surprised you came.

What happened?

Nothing.

I just didn't want to be there.

Did you fight with Makoto?

I'm right?

Who cares about a fight?

I'm always fighting with Sosuke.

For me...

it was my first time.

It seems like

Makoto chose his career path.

He was saying
that he wanted to tell you.

Doesn't watching the ocean
calm you down?

The first time I came here

I saw this ocean and felt relieved.

Welcome back.

How have you been, son?

How are things back in Japan?

I've been doing well, Russell.

My, how you've grown.

That's because
I've been swimming every day.

Every day?

- You love it that much?
- Yes.

Still swimming with
that old mate of yours?

Oh, you're talking
about his friend Haru.

- Haru?
- Rin, is that your friend Haru?

Yeah.

Haru. Come over here.

This is Russell and Lori.
I stayed with them.

Please start.

Have as much as you'd like.

Thank you.

Haru is just
as you described him, Rin.

A cool attitude
and eyes clear as water.

You're right, love.

She says you're cool
and your eyes are clear like water.

Rin says you only swim free.

Haru.

You only swim free?

Yes.

- So it's true.
- Why do they know that?

- Well, because...
- Rin really looks up to you, Haru.

Every time he talked about you,
he was always full of admiration.

Hey now...

What are they saying?

It doesn't matter.

It does.

They're saying
how I used to talk about you.

So, mate, you got a girlfriend
back in Japan?

That is...

I guess that's a no.

Our boy Rin's a late bloomer.

Right. Remember the time he...

We don't have to talk
about that, Lori.

It's summertime in Japan now, right?

- That's right.
- Isn't summer really hot there?

Yes. It's hotter than hell.

Rin, Haru.

Glad we got to see you boys tonight.

Please come back to visit us anytime.

I'll keep in touch.

Have a great stay.

Thanks, Russell, Lori.

Bye.

- Is something wrong?
- No.

- It's nothing.
- Okay.

Let's go.

This is ridiculous.

Look.

Is this common in Australia?

No.

It's your fault.

Because your name sounds like a girl.

That's you.

No, it's you.

- It's you.
- No, it's you.

- It's you.
- It's you.

We don't have time for this.

I'm going to the reception.

Ridiculous.

Just sleep.

Go to sleep.

You're right.

Hey, Haru.

Remember I told you
that I always looked up to you?

Maybe you don't remember

but I still remember

when I first met you.

Honestly, I didn't think
I would lose to anyone.

But instead of being frustrated,
I thought

there's someone better than me.

And I wanted to swim like you.

That's why I need you
to always swim ahead of me

and be there wherever I go.

Otherwise, it's not thrilling.

I remember that competition too.

Remember the spring competition
when we swam the free?

Where we tied and set a new record?

I was testing you then.

To see whether you were

someone who is meant
to end here or not.

Then

you came from behind
and caught up with me

and I was convinced.

That you were someone meant
to be in the same world as me.

Haru, did you feel anything
at that time?

You said that
you couldn't find your dream.

But if you find it,
what would you do?

We're here.

This is...

This is where they have
the world swimming competitions.

Let's go.

Haru, this way.

This is where athletes from
all over the world have competed.

I wanted to show this to you.

Let's swim, Haru.

We can?

Of course.

Anyone can swim.

I don't have my swimwear.

I'll let you borrow mine. This way.

It's the national team.

National team.

They use it for practice.

We can swim in a place like this?

No one is swimming.

There's a recreational pool
there too.

Those who don't have the courage
to swim with the national team

won't come.

And you?

Hey, mate.

How's it going?

Let's go.

I want to swim.

Here.

Forever.

I want to continue swimming.

Haru.

Let's go.

Yes.

Haru, Rin.

Makoto.

You came to pick us up?

Welcome back, both of you.

Haru.

Welcome home.

Thank you.

Let's go.

Everyone's waiting.

We're finally getting used
to this pool.

At tomorrow's event,
those seats will all be filled.

Rei, are you nervous?

No.

I've worked hard for this day.

I don't have time to be nervous.

Did you grow hair on your heart?

No, I have not.

Makoto will return soon.

That late already? Let's hurry.

Rei?

Will Haruka return to his usual self?

Don't worry.

He will come back all well.

Let's go.

Yes.

Everyone's here starting today
and preparing for the race.

I'll go meet up with my team.

Bye.

Rin.

Thank you.

Hey.

Haru.

Haruka.

Nagisa. Rei.

Welcome back, Haru.

I'm glad you returned safely.

We were so worried about you.

Rei especially...

Nagisa!

I'm sorry to make you worry.

It's okay.

In preparation for tomorrow,
please get a good rest.

After that, we can make
the necessary changes

before the race.

Makoto, Nagisa, Rei.

There's something I need to tell you.

Until now

I never cared
about the time or winning

and swam because I wanted to.

I thought that if I did,
I wouldn't know why I'm swimming.

So I thought.

Rin's dream is to compete
in the World Championships.

He's heading to that world
to fulfil that dream.

Then, for me

will I go to the world of swimming
just because I want to swim?

To the world of winning or losing.

That's not right.

I'm not like Rin.

I don't have
a strong desire like Rin.

That's why

I didn't have the answers
to what you asked me.

I didn't think that a dream can
be found, just by searching for it.

But I was led by Rin

and I saw many things

and felt how big the world is.

What will you do when you find it?

Then, I found it.

I want to swim.

In that world.

I want to continue swimming.

So, I'll start caring
about the time and winning.

For my dream.

That trip really became
something special for you.

Good for you, Haru.

If that's the dream you found,
Haruka

then all we want to do
is to fully support you.

Thank you.

As expected of the Nationals

everyone is so fast.

Makoto.

The other day, I said...

horrible things to you.

I'm sorry.

Haru.

I'm sorry too.

I couldn't bring myself
to tell you about my career path.

I felt that I wasn't cut out for
the world of competitive swimming.

The world of competition
is not for me.

That's why I was wondering
if I would go to a local college.

There wasn't anything else,
in particular, I wanted to do.

That's when
I helped out Coach Sasabe.

At first, I was just helping out

but slowly, it became fun
to teach the kids how to swim.

That's where I met Hayato

and I wanted to teach him
how to swim.

When I was lost

Haru, you gave me advice.

Not really.

When Hayato swam the backstroke

he said he was no longer scared,
and that he had fun.

I was really happy.

That's why

I want more and more kids
to experience that.

The joy of swimming.

I want to be on the side
that teaches swimming.

To learn that, I'm going
to a university in Tokyo.

That's the dream that I found.

I see.

I'm sure you'll do well.

Thank you.

But from now on,
studying is going to be difficult.

That's true.

Will we see something
we've never seen before?

We will.

The four of us.

Yes.

Let's go.

Men's 400m medley relay.

Group one tournament.

Makoto!

Makoto.

Ready.

Go.

This scenery...

Nagisa!

Rei!

Haruka!

Haru.

Haru.

Haruka.

Haru!

Haruka!

It's over.

I had so much fun.

Me too.

I'm so proud that I was able
to swim in a relay with all of you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

But I guess this is really the end.

Nagisa, you're looking so glum.

There's still time before graduation.

Sorry, Mako.

Nagisa.

I'm so glad you invited Makoto and me

to the swimming club. Thank you.

Rei, you worked so hard.

Haruka.

Even after this ends

we will always be a team.

Let's keep in touch.

Yes.

Makoto.

You've supported us.

Thank you.

Thank you very much.

Look, look.

Wow!

It looks like wings.

It's beautiful.

Let's all take a picture together.

Nagisa, don't run so fast.

Hurry up, you two!

Yes, Haru.

Where am I?

Where's Sosuke?

He went to go buy drinks a while ago.

Oh boy. Did he get lost again?

I'll go look for him.

Go, Ikuya!

Kirishima!

Go, Ikuya!

What?

Who is that?

Is that so? Good job!

How was your time?

You haven't hit the wall?

No, I'm doing well.

My strokes are longer.

In fact, I can't feel the wall.

How reassuring.

But Kinjou from Sudahigashi,
and Terashima from Omori Gakuin

are also shortening their time.

Wasn't it a tough race?

Don't worry, brother.

I won't...

lose to anyone.
