Haruka Nanase is an elementary school student who loves water and swimming. He won a relay race with his friends Rin Matsuoka, Nagisa Hazuki, and Makoto Tachibana in the tournament. After claiming victory, they went their separate ways. Years later, they reunite as high school students, but Rin is uninterested in returning to how things were before. He wants to prove that he's a better swimmer than Haruka. The three remaining friends form the Iwatobi High School Swim Club and need a fourth member for the upcoming tournament. Nagisa recruits Rei Ryuugazaki, a former track team member, as their new teammate. As they train intensely to compete, they develop a close bond and hope to settle things between Haruka and Rin once and for all.
