With regionals fast approaching, Makoto decides to talk to Haru about something that has been on his mind.

Before the prefectural, Rin and Gou pay their respects to their father, where Rin gives Gou a photo of him to put up in the Iwatobi Swimming Club.

Nagisa, Makoto, Momotarou, Rei, and Rin all qualify in their respective individual events. Later, Makoto competes against Haru in the 200m freestyle, wanting to have a real race against him before they graduate. Despite losing due to his lack of pacing, Makoto is overjoyed to have a serious race with Haru.

Haru and Rin then face off against each other in the 100m freestyle, with Haruka narrowly beating Rin by 0.02 second, bringing the first day's events to a close.
