Free! Dive to the Future

Wow, the scenery's great, Romi-chan!

It really is!

Look at that weird-shaped rock!

Where?

Over there!

Oh, I see it! That really is weird!

Right?

Isn't this fun, Romi-chan?

Yeah!

It's like the roller coasters in Florida!

Hey, Goro-chan, how much longer?

Another hour or so.

Hey, Amakata-sensei, I could take over driving now...

Oh, don't worry about me!

I don't get to drive big cars often, so it's a nice change!

Please Refuel Please replace fuel used during the rental period.

Are you doing okay, Ayumu-chan?

Yes, I'm fine, but...

Rei-kun, you're drenched in sweat!

Don't worry about me...

You okay, Rei-chan?

It's nothing.

Don't try to be tough.

Shizuru-kun, are you o—

Shizuru-kun!

Hey, Shizuru!

Shizu-chan!

He's unconscious.

Episode 5: An Ominous Workout!

Good morning, everyone.

Samezuka Academy

Soufuukan

Thanks for making the long trip out here.

The relationship we formed with Soufuukan over spring break

has paved the way for this training camp shared by our three schools.

I hope we can make this a fruitful training camp

where we all learn from each other.

Let's all work hard together!

Let's do it!

We also have the honor of being joined

by Samezuka Academy alumnus Yamazaki Sousuke-senpai...

Sou-chan!

...and Soufuukan alumnus Kirishima Natsuya-senpai.

We won't have much time together, but I'm glad to be here.

Kirishima...

Go ahead and take your things to your rooms,

then we'll meet by the pool at 1:00.

They're all such powerful schools...

with such glorious muscles!

I'm disappointed that there aren't any pudgy guys here.

Gou-san!

Check out my special backstroke!

I didn't realize you were also a backstroke swimmer...

Mikoshiba Momotarou!

Wha—

Come on! We played table tennis at the Anago hot spring!

Oh! Capybara!

That's right. I'm a Soufuukan High School second-year,

the Capybara of the Raging Rapids, Usami Aoba!

Uh, I'm not giving you the capybara plushie.

Hmph! How about a swimming contest this time, then?

Hah! You'll regret that!

That's big talk!

Fine by me.

Take me on as many times as you want. I'll always win!

Momo-kun! We're in the middle of practice!

Y-You've got it all wrong!

If you want a contest that bad,

compete against me, Aoba.

Natsuya-san?!

Sorry, you guys.

Oh, it's all right.

He's not as bad a guy as he looks.

I hope you guys can be friends.

We hope so, too.

I think Nagisa's going to go places this summer.

Yes.

Ryugazaki-kun appears to have matured since last year, too.

That just leaves the newbies...

Shizuru's backstroke is still rough,

but he does have talent.

I agree.

Next!

Ready!

He's obviously behind.

No real problems with his swimming, though...

I guess he's nervous.

Romi—

Nagisa-kun, about this afternoon's regimen...

Romio-kun?

Did something happen?

That'll be all for this practice.

You're welcome to practice on your own.

Just make sure you're in the cafeteria by 6:00 tonight.

Right!

Captain Rei!

I didn't swim enough, so I'll stay behind and practice!

Okay, then.

Just be careful you don't overdo it.

I will!

Hey, no fair, Romi-chan!

I'm gonna swim, too!

All right.

Um...

Shizuru-kun, why don't you and I go on a shopping run?

Uh... Sure.

Okay, I reserved one lane.

You can start off at your own pace,

then try to be conscious of your form as you swim.

R-Right.

Romi-chan?

Just start whenever you're ready.

R-Right...

Burn it up! Kishikubo

Souls of Water

Kishikubo Middle School Swim Team Win

In the last race...

Are you afraid of starting?

Sou-chan...

Is that true, Romi-chan?

No, I... Um...

You can't get the timing right, can you?

Romio-kun seemed a bit down.

Now that you mention it...

Shizuru-kun, do you have any idea why?

Well, I think...

He false-started?

Yeah, and...

that ended up being our last middle school tournament...

I think he just doesn't want to make the same mistake again in high school.

But it may be that having so many people around

reminds him of that race.

It was a really important race...

So ever since then, I've been afraid of starting.

Romi-chan...

Don't just look directly ahead of you.

Envision what happens after you dive in.

What's your reason for diving in?

Wow, it all looks so good!

Their manager made curry, too. I think it's over there.

Here you go.

Kunikida-san's curry is going over really well, huh?

Yeah! That's what secret spices will do for you!

Right, Ayumu-chan?

The extra batch of the Kunikida family's ultra-spicy curry is ready to go.

The curry Gou-san and her friend made is so good!

This heat level is like a challenge.

It burns! But it's so good!

Really, Mikoshiba?

That's enough to count as spicy in your mind?

You already finished yours?!

I'm on my way to get a heaping plate of seconds.

Gou-san! Seconds, please!

What's your deal?!

I won't let you have Gou-san's curry!

What?! Don't be stupid!

This curry's great!

Ayumu-chan did the seasoning.

It really is good!

It's been in the Kunikida family for generations.

Huh? Seaweed?! D-Dude...

Curry is best with seaweed.

Okay...

That sounds good!

Would you guys like some, too?

Did you bring that, Shizuru-kun?

Yes. My family runs a seafood shop.

Shizuru's family gathers seafood by skin-diving.

That's why he's so good at swimming.

So that's why.

By the way, Romi-chan, did you eat curry in New York?

Yeah!

Is it different, like they say?

There was one restaurant that was known for having the spiciest curry in world!

Wow!

Please tell me all about it!

The chef there prepares the curry with a gas mask on!

A gas mask?!

I went there with my family, just once!

Community Room

Samezuka Academy Soufuukan High School Iwatobi High School

So as for the last day of the camp,

why don't we have time trials for each of the four strokes?

Good idea.

But the last day should be special.

Isn't there anything more unique we can do?

What do you think, Iwatobi?

Sure.

Actually, we of Iwatobi have a plan we'd like to propose.

Last Day Plan (Ideas) Time trials in each stroke

All right, everyone, meet your new coach.

I'm Tachibana Makoto.
