Free! (English Dubbed) Season 2 Episode 1 Storm of Dive and Dash!

As the second season of Free! begins, the members of the Iwatobi Swim Club are training hard for a new school year and the impending competitions. The episode opens with a fun and lighthearted scene showing the group at the beach, where they are playfully racing each other in the ocean. However, the tone quickly shifts as the team receives a new challenge from Rin and his school's swim club. They have been invited to compete in the medley relay at the upcoming regional tournament.

This news is met with both excitement and apprehension from the Iwatobi team. On one hand, they are eager to show off their skills and take on new challenges. On the other hand, they know that Rin is a tough opponent and that they will have to work even harder to beat him. However, they are determined to do their best and start training immediately.

The first step in their preparation is to work on their weakest link: the relay starts. They decide to do this by practicing a new technique called Dive and Dash, which involves starting the race with a dive and immediately transitioning into a fast sprint. The team struggles with this new technique at first, but eventually they start to get the hang of it.

However, as they continue to practice, they begin to realize that they might have more issues than just their relay starts. Nagisa, for one, seems to be having trouble with his form, causing him to slow down and struggle to keep up with the others. Rei, meanwhile, seems to be struggling with his breathing technique, leaving him gasping for air and unable to keep pace.

Despite these setbacks, the team remains focused and determined to improve. They spend long hours in the pool, pushing themselves to get better with each passing day. Along the way, they discover new strengths and weaknesses, as well as a newfound sense of camaraderie and teamwork.

The episode ends on a high note, with the team finally achieving a successful Dive and Dash and feeling confident about their chances in the upcoming competition. As they walk off into the sunset, they are a close-knit group of friends, ready to face any challenge that comes their way.
