Translation
Makoto ：“Training Camp.”

Makoto ：(The Iwatobi swim club is out on a training camp right now. Since we don’t have a budget, we pitched up tents along the coast and are spending a rather pleasant time camping out, but… there’s just one problem.)

Nagisa ：Thank goodness the hotel allowed us to borrow their bath. Rei ：The water comes right from the source here. Makoto ：Having a view of the stars above is nice too, since it has its own charm. Haruka ：I don’t care either way, as long as there’s water I can soak in. Makoto ：Haru, don’t spend too long in the bath. You’ll end up overheating. [They open the door to the bath] Nagisa ：Wow, it’s such a big place! Look, look! Hurry up, you three! I call first! [Nagisa tosses water over himself and jumps in] Makoto ：Hey, Nagisa! Don’t jump into the bathtub! Nagisa ：Hahhhh, this feels great… Makoto ：A large bath is really great… Right, Haru? Haruka ：Yeah… Rei ：Soaking in the bath is relaxation to the mind and body. It loosens up the muscles from fatigue. Nagisa ：Come to think of it, Mako-chan has a lot of muscle. Makoto ：Me? Do I? Haruka ：Makoto’s body shape changed rather quickly during training. <font color=>Makoto ：Maybe I do gain muscle easily… <font color=>Nagisa ：Can I have a feel? Mako-chan, Mako-chan, try flexing. [Makoto flexes] <font color=>Nagisa ：Whoaaaa, Mako-chan! It’s really firm! <font color=>Rei ：But Makoto-senpai, aren’t you putting on a little too much muscle? If you put on too much muscle, it’ll be more difficult for you to stay afloat. <font color=>Makoto ：I never really thought about it… <font color=>Nagisa ：Rei-chan, you even think about stuff like that? <font color=>Rei ：Of course. From muscle ratio to body fat percentage, I measure and record those numbers every day, so that I may reach the perfect body for swimming. <font color=>Haruka ：Then how come you can only swim butterfly stroke? <font color=>Rei ：… [Rei sinks down into the water] <font color=>Makoto ：Haru. Rei went down under. <font color=>Haruka ：Sorry… <font color=>Nagisa ：I’m so envious of you guys… I’m trying but I can’t get big… [Rei comes back out of the water] <font color=>Rei ：Then leave that to me! <font color=>Makoto ：Ah, he came back up again. <font color=>Rei ：Nagisa-kun, I’ll think of a menu that will be the easiest way for you to gain muscle! <font color=>Nagisa ：Eh, really?! Rei-chan, thank you! <font color=>Makoto ：In those terms, Haru seems to have the best body. He has muscle but not too much. <font color=>Haruka ：Really? <font color=>Nagisa ：Haru-chan really does give the image of a dolphin. <font color=>Makoto ：Yeah… Oh, then what about me? What’s my image? <font color=>Rei ：Makoto-senpai? <font color=>Nagisa ：Mako-chan is… a whale? No, that’s not it… Hmm… <font color=>Haruka ：An orca. <font color=>Rei ：An orca? <font color=>Nagisa ：Ehh, that’s not Mako-chan’s image! Orcas are vicious, aren’t they? <font color=>Makoto ：Why an orca? <font color=>Haruka ：Because Makoto’s swimming is powerful. <font color=>Rei ：Ahhh, it certainly is dynamic. <font color=>Nagisa ：I see! I guess it does feel like an orca! <font color=>Makoto ：Eh… Really? <font color=>Rei ：Haruka-senpai, what about me? <font color=>Nagisa ：A hammer. [**Slang for someone who drowns easily] <font color=>Rei ：Nagisa-kun! <font color=>Haruka ：Rei is a butterfly. <font color=>Makoto ：Butterfly? <font color=>Nagisa ：That’s not a fish. <font color=>Haruka ：He flies freely, like a butterfly. Without being held back by anything. <font color=>Rei ：Yes… it was Haruka-senpai who told me to fly… A butterfly… a butterfly, huh… How beautiful… It’s perfect for me… <font color=>Nagisa ：Then what about me? <font color=>Haruka ：Penguin. <font color=>Rei ：Ahh. <font color=>Makoto ：I see. <font color=>Nagisa ：A penguin?! All right! <font color=>Rei ：Eh? You’re happy about that? <font color=>Nagisa ：I love penguins! The reason I chose this school is not just because Haru-chan and Mako-chan were here, but also because it’s called Iwatobi! [**Rockhopper] You’ve heard of rockhopper penguins, right? I really like the school name! <font color=>Makoto ：Nagisa… I didn’t know you were that much into penguins… <font color=>Rei ：Well, I think it’s perfect. On land you keep hopping up and down, so you’re a spitting image, Nagisa-kun. <font color=>Nagisa ：Right? But when I’m in water, I’m amazing. Rei-chan, you’re a spitting image too as a butterfly when you go in water and can’t swim! <font color=>Rei ：What do you mean by that? I’m not a total loss at swimming! I can swim butterfly– [Rei and Nagisa argue about butterflies and penguins in the background] <font color=>Makoto ：Despite it all, you keep a good eye over everyone, Haru. <font color=>Haruka ：I just see the forms they swim. (If it isn’t good…) <font color=>Makoto ：If it isn’t good form, it’ll make them harder to be one with the water, right? <font color=>Haruka ：How could you tell? <font color=>Makoto ：I just can. Do you know how many years we’ve been together? <font color=>Haruka ：Then what am I thinking right now? <font color=>Makoto ：Why does that make you act stubborn? …Let’s see… “Makoto, you dummy,” along those lines? <font color=>Haruka ：…You’re right… <font color=>Makoto ：I could see it in your face… <font color=>Haruka ：How about now?! <font color=>Makoto ：Are we still doing this?! Hmm, let’s see… “I hope dinner is mackerel cooked in miso,” or something? <font color=>Haruka ：No. The correct answer is mackerel grilled with salt. I win. <font color=>Makoto ：[laughs] Hey, what kind of contest is this?
