The Iwatobi High School Swim Club is participating in a joint training camp with the Samezuka Academy and Soufuukan High School teams. Sousuke is also participating as an alumnus. In the midst of the excitement, Rei and Nagisa notice that something is odd about Romio's swimming. Then Shizuru tells them the story of what happened to Romio in middle school...
Yes, and that was the first 
relay I ever swam in.
نعم، وكان ذلك أوّل سباق تتابعي
سبحتُ فيه على الإطلاق
Ja, und das war meine allererste Staffel.
Sí y fue el primer relevo que hacía.
Sí y fue el primer relevo que hacía.
Ouais, et c’était la première fois

Già.
Sim, e aquele foi o primeiro
revezamento que participei.
Да. И это была моя первая
в жизни эстафета.
