As the swim season heats up, Haruka Nanase finds himself in a renewed rivalry and friendship with Rin Matsuoka. With their bonds strengthened, Haruka, along with his teammates Makoto Tachibana, Rei Ryuugazaki, and Nagisa Hazuki, is focused on the upcoming tournaments, eager to give their all as a united team. The excitement of competition fuels their training sessions, pushing each member to grow both individually and collectively. At Samezuka Academy, Rin shares the same fervor, preparing to make a splash in the tournaments ahead. However, beneath the surface of their camaraderie lies an undercurrent of uncertainty. As graduation approaches, Rin has set his sights on his future plans, leaving Haruka and Makoto to grapple with their own aspirations. The pressure mounts as they face the reality of adulthood, forcing them to confront what lies beyond the pool. Amidst rigorous training and intense competitions, Haruka and Makoto embark on a journey of self-discovery. They attend college fairs, seek advice from mentors, and reflect on their passions outside of swimming. As the tournaments draw closer, the weight of their choices becomes palpable, testing their resolve and deepening their friendship. The team rallies together, not just to achieve victory in the pool, but to support one another in finding their paths. Haruka, known for his instinctual connection to water, begins to explore the idea of pursuing a career that aligns with his love for swimming. Makoto, with his nurturing spirit, contemplates a future that allows him to help others. As the climax of the tournament approaches, the stakes are high, but so are the stakes of their futures. Will Haruka and Makoto find the courage to embrace their dreams and chart their own courses, or will they remain adrift in uncertainty? Through the heat of competition and the bonds of friendship, they discover that the journey ahead is just as important as the races they swim.
