Then it is shown te four of them participating in a relay (team race) and winning, then them parting ways and going to different schools.Rin going abroad to Austrailia, Makoto and Haru moving up a school year to anoter school and Nagisa staying where he is as he is younger. Years later Haru and Makoto Reunite with Nagisa when Nagisa enrolls into high school a year after Haru and Makoto. Later The three hear about their old swim club is being torn down so they decide to return to try and dig up the trophy they buried there when they won the relay in middle school. Whilst there they find Rin (who is thought to be in Australia) who challenges Haru to a Race. Upon finding the pool there empty they decide later to race at another time. The next day Rin's Sister Gou (pronounced Kou) shows up and says that Rin attends Samezuka Academy (a school that specialises in swimming) so the three decide to take a visit late at night (sneaking in) where there is a pool and they all decide to swim in the pool. Rin then shows up and challenges Haru to a race to which he wins.

He says that he cannot get over that fact until Haru races for real against him. Soon after the team so far recruit another member Rei Ryūgazaki who was first reluctent to join but after learnin that he cannot swim he decides to join the swim team and has a new goal which is to learn to swim.
