It first appears in light novel form as High☆Speed！ (ハイ☆スピード！, Hai☆Supīdo！) written by Kouji Ohji. The novel served as the inspiration for the first season of the anime Free!, which has expanded into three seasons, multiple Original Video Animations, several feature films and a large catalogue of music. The second volume of the light novel was animated in 2015 as a stand-alone movie entitled High☆Speed！－Free! Starting Days－.

The story of the swim club focuses on the team comprised of Haruka Nanase, Makoto Tachibana, Asahi Shiina and Ikuya Kirishima who are grademates at Iwatobi Junior High School. All are reluctantly drafted into the swim club by Natsuya Kirishima, the captain of the team and older brother of Ikuya. Each swimmer faces difficulties as they develop their technique and grow as individuals, but with the help of co-captain and club manager, Nao Serizawa, they come to improve their individual strokes and better understand themselves.
