Am Vorabend der Präfektur-Wettkämpfe beschließt Makoto, mit Haruka über ein bestimmtes Thema zu reden. Als das Turnier beginnt, ist der Iwatobi-Schwimmclub in Hinblick auf die Siegeschancen extrem motiviert. Aber schaffen es die vier auch, die Vorrunden in den Einzelkämpfen zu meistern?
On the day before the prefecturals, Rin and Gou pay their respects to their father, where Rin gives Gou a photo of him to put up in the Swimming Club. The next day, Nagisa, Makoto, Rei, Rin, and Momotarou all qualify in their respective individual events. Later, Makoto competes against Haruka in the 200m freestyle, wanting to have a real race against him before he graduates. Despite losing due to his pacing, Makoto feels happy to have been able to have a serious race with Haruka. Haruka and Rin then face off against each other in the 100m freestyle, with Haruka narrowly beating Rin by a split second, bringing the first day's events to a close.
Les préfectorales commencent. Qui de Rin ou Haruka l'emportera en nage libre ? Makoto a décidé lui aussi de se mesurer à Haruka en libre. Saura-t-il rivaliser avec lui ?
Alla vigilia delle regionali, Makoto affronta un certo discorso con Haruka. Il club Iwatobi è elettrizzato all'idea di parteciparvi. Riusciranno a qualificarsi negli eventi individuali?
1년 만에 돌아온 현 수영 대회. 마코토는 이번에 200m 자유형에 출전해서 하루와 대결을 하게 되는데.
한편, 레이는 그 동안 기울인 노력이 결실을 맺어 접영 예선에서 우수한 성적을 낸다.
En la víspera de las prefecturales, Makoto decide hablar de un tema con Haruka. Cuando el torneo inicia, el club Iwatobi se encuentra muy entusiasmado sobre sus prospectos. Pero ¿podrán todos los miembros pasar las preliminares en sus eventos individuales?
