Free!-Road to the World- the Dream/Plot

Their dreams--

Haruka, Makoto, Nagisa, and Rin, who formed very young bonds as their first team.

Haruka draws a fish for What I want to be when I grow up "because I want to swim freely," he says. Rin speaks of his dream to compete out in the world. Nagisa speaks joyfully of the feeling of wanting to continue swimming. And Makoto stares, dazzled at the two who can put their dreams so straightforwardly into words.

Time passes. Haruka and Makoto have gone on to university. The pair reunites with their teammates from their middle school days: Asahi and Ikuya. However, the bonds that were once tied change form and heavily tie down Ikuya. Haruka decides he wants to rescue Ikuya. Makoto, too, again comes into contact with the hearts of various swimmers.

There's hope ... for Ikuya that Hiyori harbors ... a chance reunion with Sosuke ... that which his student Misaki has given him ... and the feelings of Haruka who learns of the wall to the world that will give Makoto a certain determination.

Meanwhile, a new spring arrives for the Iwatobi High School Swim Club. The bond that Rei and Nagisa tied together with Haruka and Makoto becomes a new bud and is about to blossom. They want to show "that sight" that they saw to their kouhai, too. The goal is to advance to the national tournament in the medley relay.

What the bonds have spun together are “dreams.”

Facing the swift current, they will dive into in the days ahead, securing their "dreams" and the story of the young ones who continue to swim, heading towards the next stage.
