Previously we agreed in such cases to use official romanizations (or in this case outright translations) wherever KyoAni provide them for the sake of both consistency and accuracy. In this particular case it seems to be similar to how they in technical descriptions (ie. on the website) will list the product/location/team/etc. in Japanese but on the final “product” so to speak they sometimes choose to give a romanized or translated title. In previous cases, such as the season 1 duet CDs which were described with kanji but the final CD covers were written in English, we agreed to stick to these translation provided by KyoAni rather than the more literal fan translations of the kanji, or else use translations provided by CR/Funi if KyoAni have provided no official translation themselves.

Ergo, since Samezuka appear to refer to themselves as such in-universe and KyoAni irl have produced merch with the name written as “Samezuka Swimming Team” this makes most sense imo inline with our previous decisions.
