After the breakup of his middle school swim team, Ikuya decided to get stronger on his own and not rely on anyone. But then Haruka, breaking out of his freestyle comfort zone to swim in the individual medley, tells Ikuya, "You're not alone." As the two race side by side, Ikuya hears the sound of Haruka swimming, and suddenly he feels something in him changing...
That's why I so desperately kept swimming.
لهذا استمررتُ في السّباحة باستماتة
Deshalb schwamm ich verzweifelt weiter.
Por eso seguía nadando así.
Por eso seguía nadando así.
È per questo che ho nuotato fino allo stremo.
Foi por isso que eu nunca parei de nadar.
Поэтому я отчаянно продолжал плавать.
