[00:06] Sasabe
    Gather 'round!
[00:07] Sasabe
    Okay, everybody here?
[00:11] Sasabe
    Makoto, introduce yourself.
[00:14] Makoto
    R-Right!
[00:15] Makoto
    Uh...
[00:17] Makoto
    Hello there.
[00:19] ---
    I'm Tachibana Makoto, and I'll be
    helping to coach you starting today.
[00:23] Makoto
    It's nice to meet you!
[00:26] Kids
    Nice to meet you!
[02:02] Nagisa
    What?
SIGN    The Locomotive of a Twist!
[02:03] Nagisa
    Mako-chan, you started helping out
    at Goro-chan's yesterday?
[02:07] Makoto
    Yep. That's right.
[02:09] Nagisa
    Haru-chan, did you know?
[02:11] Haruka
    I hadn't heard.
[02:13] Makoto
    I was going to tell you all when I saw you today.
[02:16] Rei
    But with regionals coming up,
    are you sure you can do it?
[02:20] Nagisa
    He's right! Will you still be able to train?
[02:23] Makoto
    I'll only help there when
    we don't have practice.
[02:25] Makoto
    It won't have any impact on
    my training, so I'll be fine.
[02:28] Nagisa
    But what made you start doing that?
[02:31] Makoto
    Well, yesterday at practice...
[02:35] Rei
    Makoto-senpai!
[02:36] Nagisa
    Mako-chan, go for it!
[02:42] Makoto
    How was that?
[02:44] Haruka
    Your dive timing is still late.
[02:47] Rei
    We really aren't making
    much progress, are we?
[02:49] Rei
    Let's try it again!
[02:51] Makoto
    Right!
[02:56] Makoto
    Is something wrong?
[02:58] Gou
    It's just, these are your times
    from the prefectural tournament.
[03:02] Gou
    But Coach Sasabe hasn't been by
    lately, so I still haven't gotten to
[03:06] ---
    go over them with him.
[03:08] Makoto
    I see.
[03:10] Makoto
    It's always dark by the time we finish practice.
[03:13] Makoto
    I'll check in on him on my way home tonight.
[03:16] Gou
    You wouldn't mind?
[03:17] Gou
    Then, thank you!
[03:19] Clerk
    Good evening!
[03:20] Makoto
    Good evening.
[03:26] Makoto
    Coach Sasabe!
[03:27] Sasabe
    Hey! If it isn't Makoto!
[03:30] Makoto
    The swimming club sure is busy!
[03:33] Sasabe
    And I'm definitely happy about that,
[03:35] ---
    but I'm so short-handed, every day is hectic.
[03:37] Sasabe
    Sorry I haven't been able to
    come see you guys at practice.
[03:40] Makoto
    No worries.
[03:42] Makoto
    Coach Sasabe, these are our times
    from the prefectural tournament...
[03:47] Kid
    Coach Sasabe! Hurry up!
[03:49] Sasabe
    Hold on just a sec!
[03:51] Sasabe
    I'll be right there!
[03:53] Makoto
    Coach Sasabe!
[03:55] Sasabe
    Huh?
[03:55] Makoto
    Is there anything I can help with?
[03:57] Sasabe
    R-Really?!
[03:59] Makoto
    Of course, if you think I can do it.
[04:02] Rei
    So that's what happened.
[04:04] Makoto
    Coach Sasabe's done so much
    for us, I thought it'd be nice
[04:07] ---
    to help him for a change.
[04:09] Nagisa
    But we can't let you do all the work yourself!
[04:13] Nagisa
    We'll help, too!
[04:15] Nagisa
    Right? You think so too, don't you, Rei-chan?
[04:17] Rei
    But of course!
[04:19] Makoto
    Thank you both.
[04:21] Makoto
    But aren't there other things that
    both of you need to focus on?
[04:25] Nagisa
    But...
[04:27] Rei
    Haruka-senpai, aren't you concerned, too?
[04:30] Haruka
    I just swim.
[04:32] Haruka
    Makoto should do what he's set out to do.
[04:35] Nagisa
    Haru-chan...
[04:35] Rei
    Haruka-senpai...
[04:37] Makoto
    Yeah.
[04:39] Nagisa
    I guess you're right.
[04:41] Nagisa
    Before worrying about others,
    we should worry about ourselves.
[04:45] Nagisa
    What I need to do is
[04:47] ---
    be able to manage both studies
    and swimming at the same time.
[04:50] Nagisa
    I'll work on that first!
[04:52] Rei
    I'm with Nagisa-kun.
[04:55] Rei
    I need to improve my swimming
    by the start of regionals.
[04:58] Rei
    So Makoto-senpai, you should
    accomplish what you've
[05:01] ---
    set out to accomplish, as well!
[05:02] Makoto
    Nagisa... Rei...
[05:06] Nagisa
    But it sure sounds like fun!
[05:08] Nagisa
    I bet you get to play with the kids a lot.
[05:11] Rei
    Makoto-senpai isn't going there just to play!
[05:15] Nagisa
    I know, I know!
[05:18] Makoto
    All right, let's train hard today, too!
[05:20] All
    Yeah!
[05:57] Nitori
    Yamazaki-senpai!
[05:58] Nitori
    What are you doing here?
[06:00] Sousuke
    Your fatigue is ruining your form.
[06:03] Nitori
    W-Were you watching me swim?
[06:05] Sousuke
    You won't get better by just
    swimming recklessly like an idiot.
[06:09] Sousuke
    Take a break.
[06:11] Nitori
    I-I'm sorry, but my time is among
    the slowest on the team,
[06:18] Nitori
    so I need to swim more than
    the others to catch up.
[06:22] Sousuke
    If you overdo it,
[06:23] ---
    you won't be able to do
    what you could before.
[06:27] Sousuke
    I'll coach you.
[06:29] Nitori
    What did you say?
[06:31] Sousuke
    I said I'll coach the rest of your practice.
[06:35] Sousuke
    After you take a break, that is.
[06:38] Sousuke
    You want to swim with Rin, don't you?
[06:42] Nitori
    Okay!
[06:51] Rin
    Is Ai training on his own again?
[06:56] Sousuke
    You're letting your legs open too wide again!
[06:58] Rin
    Sousuke...
[07:01] Sousuke
    Better.
[07:11] Kids
    We're ready to practice!
[07:13] Makoto
    Let's have a great practice!
[07:15] Kid B
    Coach Tachibana, what are we doing today?
[07:18] Makoto
    Why don't we start by practicing
    our butterfly kick?
[07:21] Kids
    Okay!
[07:36] Kids
    Thank you very much!
[07:39] Kid A
    Bye-bye, Coach Tachibana!
[07:40] Kid B
    See you later!
[07:42] Makoto
    Bye-bye!
[07:44] Kid D
    Bye!
[07:48] Makoto
    That's right...
[07:50] ---
    He was afraid to swim without a kickboard.
[07:54] Makoto
    Hayato-kun?
[07:56] ---
    What's the matter?
[07:58] Makoto
    Didn't you have fun today?
[08:04] Hayato
    I...
[08:05] Makoto
    hate swimming.
[08:07] Kisumi
    Hayato!
[08:09] Hayato
    Kisumi-onii-chan!
[08:10] Kisumi
    Sorry I'm late!
[08:12] Makoto
    Kisumi?
[08:15] Makoto
    Shigino Kisumi?
[08:17] Kisumi
    Wait, are you...
[08:19] Kisumi
    Makoto?
[08:20] Makoto
    Yeah!
[08:21] Makoto
    It's been so long, Kisumi!
[08:23] Kisumi
    Yeah, it has!
[08:26] Kizumi
    I don't think I've seen you since middle school!
[08:30] Haruka
    Kisumi?
[08:32] Makoto
    Yeah, your old classmate from
    middle school, Shigino Kisumi.
[08:54] Haruka
    Oh...
[08:55] Makoto
    His younger brother is in the class I'm teaching,
[08:59] ---
    so I saw him yesterday for the first time in ages.
[09:01] Haruka
    Whatever.
[09:03] Makoto
    Weren't you two close when you were
    in the same class in middle school?
[09:06] Haruka
    Nope.
[09:07] Makoto
    Really?
[09:09] Makoto
    Well, if you have some time on Sunday,
    you should come by too, Haru.
[09:15] Makoto
    Huh?
[09:17] Haruka
    Only if I have time.
[09:20] Makoto
    Haru! You came!
[09:22] Haruka
    You forgot your lunch.
[09:25] Haruka
    Your mom asked me to bring it to you.
[09:26] Makoto
    Oh, that's right! Thanks!
[09:29] Sasabe
    Makoto! And Haruka, too!
[09:32] Mako/Haru
    Good morning!
[09:33] Sasabe
    How about it? If you've got time,
[09:35] ---
    why not go for a swim again?
[09:37] Haruka
    Sure.
[09:38] Sasabe
    Makoto, how're the kids looking?
[09:41] Makoto
    They're all improving so fast.
    I'm really surprised.
[09:44] Sasabe
    Glad to hear it!
[09:46] Sasabe
    Is Hayato able to swim now, too?
[09:49] Haruka
    Hayato?
[09:50] Makoto
    Kisumi's little brother.
[09:52] ---
    His name is Hayato-kun.
[09:55] Sasabe
    He still has some trouble
    swimming without a kickboard.
[09:59] Sasabe
    Whoa, look at the time!
[10:01] Sasabe
    I've got some interviews for the
    part-time position, so I've gotta go.
[10:03] Sasabe
    Sorry, Makoto! Thanks again for your help!
[10:06] Sasabe
    Hang around and enjoy yourself, Haruka!
[10:09] Makoto
    Hayato-kun told me he hated swimming.
[10:13] Makoto
    It's actually kind of been bothering me.
[10:16] Makoto
    What do you think, Haru?
[10:18] Haruka
    Don't resist.
[10:20] Haruka
    Don't resist the water. Accept its presence.
[10:25] Makoto
    That advice is so like you, Haru.
[10:28] Makoto
    It's time to start, so I'd better go, too.
[10:30] Haruka
    Okay.
[10:34] Kids
    Thank you very much!
[10:37] Kid
    Let's get ice cream on the way home!
[10:42] Kisumi
    Hey, Makoto!
[10:43] Makoto
    Kisumi!
[10:45] Kisumi
    How's Hayato looking out there?
[10:47] Makoto
    He's still afraid to swim without a kickboard.
[10:51] Kisumi
    I see... I figured as much.
[10:55] Makoto
    Hey, um...
[10:57] Makoto
    There's something I've been wondering.
[11:01] Makoto
    Is there a particular reason
    Hayato-kun hates swimming?
[11:07] Makoto
    If you know, I'd like you to tell me.
[11:10] Kisumi
    It was probably my fault.
[11:14] Kisumi
    A while back, our family went to
    the ocean, and we rode on a boat.
SIGN    Locker Room
[11:19] Kisumi
    Hayato got too excited and lost his balance,
[11:22] ---
    and he fell off the boat.
[11:24] Kisumi
    He started to drown.
[11:26] ---
    The water wasn't too deep and
    we were able to save him quickly,
[11:29] Kisumi
    so it didn't turn into anything serious.
[11:33] Kisumi
    But it must have really scared him.
[11:37] Makoto
    So that's what happened.
[11:39] Kisumi
    He started to really hate his
    swimming class at school,
[11:43] Kisumi
    so I want to watch over him
[11:44] ---
    in these swimming lessons until he learns to swim at his own pace.
[11:48] Kisumi
    What happened was my fault,
    for not watching him properly.
[11:52] Makoto
    Kisumi...
[11:53] Kisumi
    But if Hayato really hates this,
    then I wouldn't mind letting him stop.
[11:58] Kisumi
    If it's stressing him out...
[12:00] Makoto
    I...
[12:01] ---
    want to teach Hayato-kun how to swim.
[12:05] Kisumi
    Makoto?
[12:07] Makoto
    Hayato-kun sort of reminds me
    of the way I used to be.
[12:12] Makoto
    That's why I don't want him to give up.
[12:16] Makoto
    Not him, and not you, either.
[12:21] Kisumi
    You really do love swimming,
    don't you, Makoto?
[12:25] Makoto
    Yep!
[12:27] Kisumi
    Then I'll leave Hayato to you, Makoto.
[12:31] Kisumi
    If there's anything I can do, let me know.
[12:34] Makoto
    I will. Thanks.
[12:37] Kisumi
    Haru!
[12:39] Makoto
    Haru?
[12:40] Kisumi
    Wow, it's been so long!
[12:43] Kisumi
    This really brings back
    memories of middle school!
[12:45] Kisumi
    I remember how lonesome you got
    after Rin went to study abroad!
[12:51] Kisumi
    Aw, don't get mad!
[12:54] Makoto
    Kisumi, you went to the same
    grade school as Rin, right?
[12:57] Kisumi
    Yep! And so did Sousuke.
[13:00] Haruka
    Makoto.
[13:01] Makoto
    Oh! It's getting late!
[13:03] Haruka
    Let's go home.
[13:04] Kisumi
    You're so cold, Haru.
[13:06] Kisumi
    We haven't seen each other in ages!
[13:10] Haruka
    We'll see each other again.
[13:12] Kisumi
    True!
[13:13] Hayato
    Kisumi-onii-chan!
[13:15] Kisumi
    Hayato!
[13:16] Kisumi
    All right, see you later, Makoto!
[13:17] Kisumi
    You too, Haru!
[13:22] Makoto
    Shall we get going, too?
[13:26] Gou
    How to get a kid who hates
    the water to learn to swim?
[13:30] Makoto
    Can you guys think of any good ideas?
[13:33] Gou
    It's simple!
[13:34] Gou
    First, get him to be able
    to float without tensing up.
[13:37] Gou
    Then, teach him to balance his
    body so his hips don't sink,
[13:40] ---
    and from there, you just need
    him to kick his legs to—
[13:42] Nagisa
    Wait, you can swim, Gou-chan?
[13:44] Gou
    No. So?
[13:45] Rei
    Then there's no authenticity to your advice!
[13:48] Nagisa
    What advice did you give, Haru-chan?
[13:51] Haruka
    Don't resist the water. Accept its presence.
[13:54] Gou
    That's very Haruka-senpai, isn't it?
[13:57] Nagisa
    In this case, wouldn't the advice of Rei-chan,
[14:01] ---
    who only recently learned to
    swim, be the most effective?
[14:03] Gou
    Good point!
[14:05] Rei
    That's right! Really, it took you
    all long enough to realize that!
[14:09] Haruka
    Do you have some advice, then?
[14:11] Rei
    Indeed!
[14:12] Gou
    What is it?
[14:13] Nagisa
    Tell us, Rei-chan!
[14:14] Rei
    I was unable to swim because
    I always sank no matter what I did,
[14:19] Rei
    which makes this situation
    different from mine! Therefore—
[14:22] Nagisa
    Oh, I see.
[14:23] Gou
    Yes, that's true.
[14:24] Makoto
    That makes sense.
[14:26] Rei
    Wait a second!
[14:26] Gou
    Have you figured out what to do yet?
[14:27] ---
    I haven't even gotten to the actual advice,
[14:30] ---
    so why are you reacting like that?!
[14:30] Makoto
    I do have some ideas, but...
[14:31] ---
    Well, because...
[14:33] Makoto
    Giving Hayato-kun everyone's advice
    might be a little difficult.
[14:40] Haruka
    What was it like for you?
[14:42] Haruka
    If you think back on that,
    you'll probably know what to do.
[14:46] Makoto
    In my case...
[14:49] Makoto
    It was because I was able to see the
    sky while I was swimming backstroke
[14:54] Makoto
    that I stopped being scared.
[14:58] Makoto
    But starting with backstroke isn't the
    normal way to teach someone to swim.
[15:04] Haruka
    So what?
[15:07] Haruka
    You should just do it your own way.
[15:10] Makoto
    Haru...
[15:14] Makoto
    You're right.
[15:15] Makoto
    I'll give it a try!
[15:20] Makoto
    Okay!
[15:21] Makoto
    So as our last activity today,
    why don't we try a relay?
[15:24] Kid A
    A relay?
[15:25] Kid B
    What's a relay?
[15:26] Kid C
    What is that?
[15:27] Kid D
    That sounds fun!
[15:29] Makoto
    It is! So let's get ready!
[15:31] Makoto
    First, you'll split into two groups.
[15:33] Makoto
    After you swim from here to the other end,
[15:35] ---
    you'll high-five the next swimmer.
[15:37] Makoto
    You can let your feet touch
    the bottom if you need to.
[15:41] Makoto
    Okay, is everyone ready?
[15:43] Kids
    Yes!
[15:45] Makoto
    Okay then. Start!
[15:54] Kid B/C
    Go for it!
[15:55] Kid A
    Okay!
[15:57] Kid D
    You can do it!
[16:06] Makoto
    Hayato-kun, do you want to try
    swimming a different way today?
[16:11] Makoto
    You won't have to put your face underwater,
[16:13] ---
    and you can see the sky as you do it.
[16:16] Hayato
    I couldn't do something like that.
[16:20] Makoto
    I'll be holding you up, so don't worry.
[16:23] Makoto
    I definitely won't let you sink.
[16:25] Hayato
    I can't... Because... Because...
[16:30] Hayato
    I'm scared!
[16:33] Makoto
    It'll be okay.
[16:34] Makoto
    I promise, I won't let go of your hand!
[16:40] Hayato
    You promise it won't be scary?
[16:43] Makoto
    Yep. I promise.
[16:48] Kid A
    Hayato-kun!
[16:48] Kid A
    You can do it!
[16:49] Kid C
    Go for it!
[16:51] Makoto
    Here we go.
[16:52] Makoto
    Just kick with your legs to move forward.
[16:57] Makoto
    Hayato, try opening your eyes slowly.
[17:16] Kid C
    Awesome! You did the backstroke!
[17:19] Kid B
    Hayato!
[17:24] Makoto
    Okay, last leg! You can do it!
[17:26] Kid C
    Go for it!
[17:33] Kisumi
    Hayato!
[17:35] Kisumi
    Hayato!
[17:40] Kids
    Thank you very much!
[17:49] Makoto
    Hayato?
[17:50] Hayato
    Um, I... I'm not
[17:55] Hayato
    afraid to swim anymore!
[17:57] Hayato
    I had fun!
[18:02] Makoto
    That's because you tried so hard, Hayato.
[18:06] Hayato
    Thank you, Coach Tachibana!
[18:10] Makoto
    Sure!
[18:15] Makoto
    Good work today!
[18:16] Staff
    Good work!
[18:19] Sasabe
    Oh, Makoto!
[18:21] Sasabe
    I just hired a new part-timer,
    so you're off the hook!
[18:25] Sasabe
    You can make next week your last class.
[18:29] Sasabe
    What? I thought you'd be glad.
[18:33] Makoto
    That's not it...
[18:34] Sasabe
    Okay, take care getting home.
[18:37] Makoto
    I will.
[18:47] Ren/Ran
    Onii-chan!
[18:49] Makoto
    Ran! Ren! What are you doing here?
[18:51] Ren
    Haru-chan...
[18:53] Ran
    He brought us here!
[18:54] Haruka
    They said they wanted to see you coaching.
[18:58] Makoto
    Thanks, Haru.
[19:00] Makoto
    Ran, Ren, make sure you behave, okay?
[19:03] Ran/Ren
    Okay!
[19:17] Makoto
    Gather 'round!
[19:19] Makoto
    So, I know it's pretty sudden,
[19:22] ---
    but today is actually my last day
    swimming with you guys.
[19:26] Kids
    What?!
[19:28] Kid A
    But why?!
[19:29] Kid B
    I wanted to swim the relay again!
[19:33] Kid D
    Come visit us again, Coach Tachibana!
[19:35] Kid A
    You have to!
[19:36] Kid B/C
    You have to! You have to!
[19:39] Hayato
    Promise, Coach Tachibana?
[19:42] Makoto
    Yep! I promise to come back and see you.
[19:45] Kids
    Yay!
[19:47] Makoto
    Okay, that's all for today.
[19:50] Makoto
    Thank you very much!
[19:51] Kids
    Thank you very much!
[20:05] Makoto
    It went by so fast.
[20:09] Haruka
    Makoto.
[20:10] Makoto
    Haru.
[20:10] Makoto
    Thanks!
[20:12] Haruka
    Ran and Ren are waiting in the lobby.
[20:14] Makoto
    I'll be right there.
[20:15] Kisumi
    Haru! Makoto!
[20:17] Makoto
    Kisumi!
[20:18] Kisumi
    I heard the news. Today's your last day?
[20:21] Makoto
    Yeah, it is.
[20:23] Kisumi
    Hayato was really sad.
[20:25] ---
    He said he wanted you to keep
    teaching him how to swim.
[20:29] Makoto
    It makes me really happy to hear that.
[20:31] Kisumi
    It's thanks to you that Hayato
    is finally able to swim.
[20:35] Kisumi
    Seriously, thank you.
[20:37] ---
    Nah.
[20:38] Kisumi
    It's been ages since we met up,
[20:41] ---
    but you two really haven't changed!
[20:43] Kisumi
    You're both still swimming competitively, right?
[20:46] Makoto
    Both Haru and I are.
[20:48] Kisumi
    I thought so!
[20:49] Makoto
    In fact, we're both competing
    at regionals this year.
[20:53] Kisumi
    Wow! Figures that you two would make it!
[20:57] Makoto
    Rin and Yamazaki-kun will be
    competing for Samezuka.
[21:00] Kisumi
    Wow! Wait, Sousuke too?
[21:03] Makoto
    Yeah.
[21:03] Kisumi
    Oh, then Sousuke's shoulder
    must have healed, huh?
[21:07] Makoto
    His shoulder... healed?
[21:09] Kisumi
    I ran into him at the hospital a while back.
[21:16] Kisumi
    Huh?
[21:17] Kisumi
    Sousuke?
[21:22] Kisumi
    But if he's competing in tournaments,
    then it must have healed.
[21:26] Kisumi
    I'm glad.
[21:27] Kisumi
    Oh, I'd better go!
[21:29] Kisumi
    Well, Makoto, Haru, see you later!
[23:13] Sousuke
    Nanase, what do you intend to do?
[23:16] Sousuke
    Are you prepared to swim for
    your one and only dream,
[23:18] Sousuke
    even if it means casting all else aside?
[23:21] Sousuke
    If you're not prepared to do that,
    you have no right to stand on this stage.
[23:25] Haruka
    Dream?
[23:26] Haruka
    Future? I...
[23:29] Sousuke

[23:32] Haruka
    What is it that I swim for?
