HS1C07: Race

'Synopsis: Tournament Day arrives. The Iwatobi Swimming Club places second in their relay. Day 2 doesn't go much better, though they advance to finals. The following morning, Rin visits his father's grave, telling him of his plans. Later, the tournament recommences with the Sano Swimming Club in first place. How will Iwatobi do? No one knows until the race begins. This time, something is different. Makoto Tachibana has a beautiful streamline, Nagisa Hazuki's unique style keeps him in the lead, Rin Matsuoka starts badly and finishes fourth, but then it's Haruka Nanase's turn. Unlike previous days, Haruka is different -- better, faster, a shining light in the water. They win. Afterwards, Rin shares the story about his father being a first generation Iwatobi SC swimmer and potential Olympic swimmer who gave up his dream and became a fisherman instead. When he mentions how his father died in a typhoon, Makoto and Haruka look at one another, each recalling the day they saw the funeral procession. Rin remembers, too, and they all connect in a new way. He then says how he feels about meeting them all, knowing from the start that he wanted to be a part of a great team. Now -- they are.'
