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?
Have you been working hard 
even without me there?
هل بذلتم جهدكم بدوني؟
Habt ihr auch ohne 
mich hart gearbeitet?
¿Han trabajado duro sin mí?
¿Habéis trabajado duro sin mí?
Vi siete impegnati al massimo,
 anche senza di me?
Vocês têm treinado bastante
 mesmo sem eu por lá?
Вы хорошо тренируетесь в моё отсутствие?
