Haruka and Makoto head to the local arcade for some fun and games, but Haruka is still preoccupied with the upcoming swim meet. Makoto encourages Haruka to relax and have some fun, and the two end up playing a crane game, where Haruka wins a dolphin plushie. Meanwhile, Rin is training intensely in hopes of beating Haruka and his former teammates from Iwatobi. His sister, Gou, arranges for him to have a practice race against the Samezuka Swim Club, but Rin is disappointed when he finds out that Haruka isn't there. At Iwatobi, Nagisa and Rei are busy recruiting new members for the swim club and stumble upon a shy first-year student named Miho Amakata, who is hesitant to join. They convince her to come to the pool and give it a try, but she quickly becomes overwhelmed by the other swimmers. It's up to the rest of the club to help her overcome her fears and rediscover her love for swimming. As the swim meet draws closer, tensions rise between Rin and his team, and Haruka and his friends must come together to support each other and face their rivals in the pool.
