On the eve of prefecturals, Makoto resolves himself to broach a certain subject with Haruka. As the tournament begins, the Iwatobi Swim Club is extremely enthusiastic about its prospects. But will every member be able to pass the prelims of his individual events?
So they'll be battling 
each other in the backstroke!
!سوف يتسابقان معاً في السباحة الظهرية
Also treten sie im Rückenschwimmen 
gegeneinander an!
¡Así que competirán juntos 
en la brazada de espalda!
¡Así que nadarán juntos en espalda!
Le dos crawlé
se jouera donc entre eux…
Quindi è una continua battaglia tra loro due!
Então eles irão se enfrentar no nado costas!
Значит, будут соревноваться на спине!
