'' `` Saikai no Sutātingu Burokku ! '' ( 再会 の スター ティング ブロック ! ) July 4, 2013 After spending their first year at Iwatobi High School in peace and quiet, Haruka Nanase and Makoto Tachibana run into Nagisa Hazuki, a transfer student who was a fellow team member at a local swim club when they were children. With the swim club building being demolished, the trio sneaks in to dig up a time capsule they buried inside, which is when they are reunited with Rin Matsuoka, the fourth member of their team who left to study in Australia. Rin greets them in a rude manner, immediately challenging Haruka to a race. Haruka agrees and they nearly face off until discovering the pool is empty. The following evening, as Makoto and Nagisa visit Haruka, Rin 's sister Gou Matsuoka arrives and informs the group that Rin is now attending nearby Samezuka Academy. Makoto and Nagisa pursuede a reluctant Haruka to visit the academy 's luxurious nanotorium where they break in after hours only to be discovered by Rin, who aggressively orders them out. Haruka then steps out of the pool and challenges Rin to a freestyle race. `` Memories in the Distance ! '' `` Tsuioku no Disutansu ! '' ( 追憶 の ディスタンス ! ) July 11, 2013 The following day, Nagisa suggests they form a school - based swim club. After getting Haruka on board, Makoto and Nagisa propose the idea to their home room teacher, Miho Amakata, who agrees to be their advisor as long as they find one more member and restore the school 's swimming pool themselves. Both tasks prove to be quite demanding. During the restoration, Gou asks Makoto about the race between Haruka and Rin and learns that Haruka 's loss to Rin was due to his not being in top condition, which angered Rin. Believing that the group can revert Rin to his old personality, Gou volunteers to become the team 's manager. Later, Makoto pays one final visit to the Iwatobi Swimming Club and runs into their old coach, Goro Sasabe who reveals why Haruka quit swimming in middle school. Upon learning that Rin quit swimming following a loss to Haruka in a private race during middle school, thus causing Haruka to quit out of guilt, Makoto calls Rin to inform them of their plans. Rin joins the Samezuka swim team out of his grudge against Haruka. Finally, the Iwatobi High Swimming Club is re-established and Haruka ca n't help but christen the pool with the first swim, much to his friends ' dismay. `` Theoretical Dolphin Kick ! '' `` Riron no Dorufin Kikku ! '' ( 理論 の ドルフィン キック ! ) July 18, 2013 The Iwatobi Swim Club members continue recruiting. Nagisa tries to recruit Rei Ryūgazaki from the track team, but is turned down. Meanwhile, Gou proposes that the swim club join an indoor gym so they can practice swimming until summer but, due to the expense, she schedules a joint practice with the Samezuka team at their indoor pool. Ms. Amakata reminds them that besides finding a new member, they must also participate in tournaments. The following morning, Nagisa meets Rei during his run to school and again asks Rei to join the club. Worn down by his many requests, Rei agrees to a trial basis. At the joint Samezuka - Iwatobi practice, Rin continues to give the Iwatobi team the cold shoulder. Rei tries to avoid swimming in the time trials, but is forced to do so and, much to everyone 's surprise, it is revealed that he can not swim. However, upon seeing Haruka 's elegant crawl, he realizes that swimming can be beautiful and that approaching sport with passion versus calculation may be a better way to do things. The next day at pole vaulting practice, Rei changes his tactic from calculation to passion, yet still falls. Frustrated, he approaches the spectating Iwatobi swim team and admits that he would like to learn how to swim in a beautiful manner, like Haruka. He officially joins the swim club and tasks Nagisa to teach him how to swim. `` Captive Butterfly ! '' `` Toraware no Batafurai ! '' ( 囚われ の バタフライ ! ) July 25, 2013 The Swim Club starts training in the refurbished pool using a training regimen unearthed by Gou. Rei 's academic skills at learning swim theory prove useless since his body refuses to move in the water. Elsewhere, Rin realizes that his victory against Haruka was due to Haruka 's lack of training and not his own talent. The following day, Gou makes Rei 's swimming a priority, insisting that he master the skill in the week remaining before their first tournament. Nagisa and Makoto try and fail to teach Rei their signature techniques ( breast stroke and back stroke ), causing Rei to blame his inability on their teaching methods. Over the weekend, Rei also attributes his inability to not having proper gear, prompting a team outing to purchase swim essentials. At the store, Haruka and Rin run into each other and have a tense discussion about their differing forms. Rin wants an equal race, stating he will not be able to move forward without that, so they decide to settle the score at the tournament. Afterwards, Haruka takes his turn at teaching Rei freestyle swimming but also fails. Finally, Haruka admits that he is only compatible with freestyle but swims it with passion. The next day, Rei attempts the butterfly stroke and finds it compatible with himself. The Iwatobi Swim Club is ready to race. `` Trial in Open Water ! '' `` Ōpun Wōtā de Taiken ! '' ( オープン ウォーター で 体験 ! ) August 7, 2013 As Gou prepares the team for the tournament, she discovers an old training regimen from a past swim club and proposes following its idea of a summer training camp. Although they fail to get school sponsorship, Ms. Amakata agrees to come along for support. Makoto suggests camping on the beach and bribes Coach Sasabe into transporting them with his squid fishing boat. Haruka expresses concern to Makoto, knowing of his friend 's thalassophobia since childhood, but Makoto assures that he is fine. On the day of the trip, Coach Sasabe takes the team to the island where they discover the Samezuka Swim Team also training at a facility there. The guys begin stamina training, which involves making three long - distance swimming circuits between the deserted islands of Sukishima, Oshima and Mizushima. At the end of the first day, they only finish half a circuit, leaving Rei disappointed in himself for lagging behind. Later in the day, Gou runs into Rin who voices concern for Makoto after she explains their regimen. That night, Rei secretly enters the ocean to continue training. When a sudden storm rises, he loses his kickboard and flounders, crying out for help. Makoto awakens and goes looking for Rei, casting aside fear when he sees him in trouble at sea. He dives in and swims out. 6 `` Shocking No Breathing ! '' `` Shōgeki no Nōburījingu ! '' ( 衝撃 の ノーブ り ージング ! ) August 15, 2013 Haruka and Nagisa awaken to Makoto 's shouts and follow him into the rough waters. Upon approaching Rei, Makoto 's phobia sets in and he freezes, but he is rescued by Haruka and dragged to the nearby Sukishima shore. Elsewhere, Nagisa and Rei also make it there with the latter blaming himself for putting the group in danger. When the team reunites, they each blame themselves for their own shortcomings, but are relieved they are all unharmed. With the storm still raging, they take shelter at the abandoned Sukishima Rest House. Rei asks Makoto about his hesitation in the water and, despite Haruka 's objection, Makoto reveals his thalassophobia, explaining that when he was younger, he befriended an old fisherman in the harbor whose boat was caught up in a typhoon and sank three kilometers from shore, killing everyone on board. Ever since the fisherman 's death, he feels as if an unknown force dwells in the ocean, but planned their trip despite his fear believing that their shared passion for swimming can take them anywhere. The next morning, they swim back to the mainland and collapse from exhaustion on the shore, much to Gou and Ms. Amakata 's confusion. 7 `` One Style Final ! '' `` Kessen no Sutairu Wan ! '' ( 決戦 の スタイル ワン ! ) August 22, 2013 As the tournament draws closer, the Iwatobi High Swim Club swim times improve. Meanwhile, Rin awakens in a frenzied state after having a nightmare about his father. At training, Rin reveals to Aiichiro Nitori the story of his late father, explaining that his father was the best athlete in the Iwatobi Swim Club and aspired to become an Olympic swimmer. That dream remained unrealized and his father died when a typhoon struck his boat late one summer while Rin was quite young. Following his death, Rin adopted his father 's dream, stating that Haruka is now the only thing standing in his way. On the day of the tournament, Gou reveals that both Haruka and Rin are competing in the fourth freestyle heat and are in neighboring lanes due to having similar qualifying times. Haruka encounters Rin at the lockers where their rivalry escalates. As the race begins, Rin pulls ahead in the first leg, but Haruka catches up at the turn into the second leg until they are neck and neck. Rin wins, much to everyone 's surprise, and as he exits the pool, he snidely remarks to Haruka that he will never swim with him again, leaving Haruka taken aback. 8 `` Revenge in the Medley ! '' `` Gyakushū no Medorē ! '' ( 逆襲 の メドレー ! ) August 29, 2013 Following Rin and Haruka 's race, the other Iwatobi members compete in their respective events, but none of them make it to the next round. As the day comes to an end, Gou reveals she secretly entered the team in the relay race event taking place the following day, giving them one last chance to qualify for the regional tournament. Everyone is excited, but Haruka disappears. The group waits at Haruka 's home, leaving desperate messages on his cellphone, only to discover the phone is still in the room with them. Late into the evening, Haruka returns to find only Makoto still waiting for him, asleep on the steps. After listening to the phone messages, Haruka awakens his friend and tells him he will participate in the relay. The next day, news of Iwatobi 's participation in the relay reaches Rin, who bears witness to the team in action. 9 `` Hesitant Loosen Up ! '' `` Mayoi no Rūzun Appu ! '' ( 迷い の ルーズ ン アップ ! ) September 5, 2013 Thanks to a strong showing and team spirit, Iwatobi wins the relay race, earning a place in the regional tournament. Afterwards, Haruka tells the others how his expectations were blown by Rin 's proclamation, but how he came to realize the joy of relay racing with his friends again. The group celebrates by attending a local summer festival, which Rin and his friends also attend. Wanting to keep Haruka and Rin apart, Nagisa manipulates the situation from behind the scenes and has Rei trail Rin, who wanders off from the festival and who, upon arriving at his old elementary school, is seen holding back strong emotions. 10 `` Irritated Heart Rate ! '' `` Iradachi no Hāto Reito ! '' ( 苛立ち の ハート レイト ! ) September 12, 2013 Rin recalls how he transferred into elementary school and made friends with Haruka and the others, stating his dream of becoming an Olympic champion to honor his father and convincing them to enter the relay together before he went off to Australia. Meanwhile, Rei, not wanting to be left out of the loop, asks Haruka and the others about how their relationship with Rin fell apart. Haruka reveals that while on a school break to visit home, Rin challenged Haruka to a swimming race and lost. Frustrated beyond understanding, Rin announced he was quitting swimming, after which the guilt - striken Haruka also gave up competitive swimming. Upon hearing this, Rei decides to meet Rin face to face. 11 `` Furious All - out ! '' `` Gekijō no Ōru Auto ! '' ( 激情 の オ 一 ルアウト ! ) September 19, 2013 Rei confronts Rin at Samezuka about why he is participating in the relay, why he changed after going to Australia and what he wants from Haruka. He also states his strong affiliation to the Iwatobi team. Upon hearing about Rin 's hostility and Rei 's discouragement, the guys visit Rei and remind him that he is a valued team member. Upon arriving at the location of the regional tournament and checking into their hotel, the group visits the swim area. Later that evening, Rin asks Rei to meet up with him which is when he calmly explains that the real reason he quit swimming in middle school was because he struggled while in Australia and felt he would never reach Olympic level. Ironically, it was his private match with Haruka upon his return to Japan that reignited his desire to swim and Iwatobi 's prefectural performance that made him want to perform relay again. Before taking his leave, Rin cautions Rei that he needs to make sure he does n't embarrass Iwatobi 's team when they compete against each other. Upon returning to his hotel, however, it is Rin who is embarrassed to learn that he has been taken off Samezuka 's relay team because he was n't focusing on his own team. 12 `` Distant Free ! '' `` Harukanaru Furī ! '' ( 遙 か なる フリー ! ) September 26, 2013 Rin becomes so distracted by being taken off the relay team that he ends up placing terribly in his 100m event, after which, he runs off in an outburst, saying he is quitting swimming yet again. When the Iwatobi team overhears that Rin is off the Samezuka relay team, Rei confesses that he met with him, revealing everything that Rin told him the previous night and stating his belief that what Rin really wants is simply to swim with his friends again. With the relay preliminaries fast approaching, the group splits up in search of Rin, who is eventually found by Haruka by their old elementary school. Initially fighting Haruka, Rin spots the phrase, `` For the Team, '' scratched into the concrete at its pouring. Rin begins to cry and claims that all he wants is to swim in a relay with Haruka, just as they had promised one another long ago. The rest of the guys find them and Rei lets Rin take his place in the relay. Although disqualified for an unapproved roster change despite placing first, they feel proud for doing what they thought was the right thing.

Afterwards, as the Iwatobi Swim Club struggles to recruit new members, Coach Sasabe reveals he has restored the Iwatobi Swimming Club ( naming it Iwatobi Swimming Club Returns ), thus giving the guys a chance to use an indoor pool. Later on, Rin, who has been made captain of the Samezuka Swim Club, participates in a race against Haruka, managing to tie for the lead. That evening, the Iwatobi team invites Rin to the Iwatobi school pool, which they have filled with cherry blossoms, only for rain to ruin the opportunity.

Meanwhile, Coach Sasabe plans a community swim festival to be held at ISC Returns and asks the Iwatobi team to spread the word and come up with a main event. Haruka suggests a relay and Rin is asked to assemble a Samezuka team to swim against Iwatobi. Sousuke asks to join on the condition he swim the freestyle leg. On the day of the event, one of Rin 's team members is forced to drop out, but they manage to find a replacement in Momotarou Mikoshiba. Prior to the relay, Sousuke confronts Haruka, warning him not to get in Rin 's way as he pursues his dream. As the relay gets underway, both teams show strong form with Haruka 's team narrowly winning.

Iwatobi High School holds a culture festival where the Swim Club participates in a land - based relay race against the other clubs, though their victory does little to attract new members.

His worries increase when an upperclassman from the track team asks if he would like to return. Nagisa becomes concerned when Rei starts going off on ' errands ' after school, with the others becoming suspicious, as well. Spotting Rei speaking with the track team captain, the group corners Rei and implores him not to quit the swim team.

Meanwhile, Sousuke recalls a promise that he had yet to ask of Rin before he left for Australia, especially after hearing how Haruka and the others helped restore his spirits. When Gou 's attempt at a nutritional bento proves to be inedible, she compensates by putting together a tough training regimen. Later that evening, Sousuke tells Rin he should give up relays in order to focus on his Olympic goal, but Rin states he can accomplish both. Despite preferring to swim individually, Sousuke asks to join Samezuka 's relay team in order to find something he 's missing, challenging Rin to a butterfly race to earn his spot. Admiring Sousuke 's passion, Rin changes the way swimmers are selected for relays, asking only those who are serious about being in a relay team to step forward. 5 ( 17 ) `` Head - Up of Decision ! '' `` Ketsui no Heddo Appu ! '' ( 決意 の ヘッド アップ ! ) July 30, 2014 After his teammates notice him behaving oddly and insisting on sleeping over, Nagisa reveals he has run away from home, explaining that his parents told him to quit the swim club because of his poor grades. Wanting to avoid speaking to them, Nagisa and the others hide out at ISC Returns to discus the situation. Nagisa laments that he does n't find studying fun, having been forced to do it endlessly during middle school. As the group sees a car pull up to the building, they moves further into the building. Rei tries to convince Nagisa to tell his parents how he really feels. Moved by everyone 's words, Nagisa voices his true feelings to the unknown pursuer, who turns out to be their teacher, Ms. Amakata, who came after Haruka quietly informed her of Nagisa 's plight. With the support of his friends and his teacher, Nagisa gathers his courage to speak honestly with his parents who agree to allow him to stay in the swim club on the condition that he work hard on both his schoolwork and his sport. 6 ( 18 ) `` Prime of Invincibility !

The next day, as the relay gets underway, Samezuka wins the race, though Iwatobi manages to make it to regionals, as well. Afterwards, as Haruka and Rin are both scouted by college coaches, Rin confronts Sousuke about his recent behavior, to which Sousuke waffles, responding he has n't yet found what he is looking for.

Despite Rin 's objections, Sousuke wants to swim with everyone in the relay, with Aiichirou and Momotarou backing him up.
