The second Rei touched the wall of the pool, Haru dived into the water and started to swim.
"Go, Onee-chan!" Kokoro cheered from the stands.
"She passed one!" Makoto exclaimed.
"She's in fourth now!" Nagisa said.
Haru turned in the water and propelled herself off the wall, swimming back to the other side.
"She pasted another one!" Kokoro said. "She's in thrid."
"Another one!" Gou shouted. "She's in second! Second!" she squealed, clasping hands with the ten year old girl.
"She's closing in." Makoto stated. "They're dead even!" he yelled when he saw his childhood friend catch up with the swimmer in first.
Rin stood where he was as he watched the ravenette swim pass him.
Soon, Haru swam ahead of the other swimmer. Next thing that happened, her hand touched the wall.
"We won!" The three other male swimmers cheered.
Kokoro, Gou, and Ms. Amakata all cheered as well.
Haru, panting, removed her goggles and let down her hair from the ponytail she had it in. She looked up at the scoreboard and saw that her school's name was in first place, Samezuka Academy in second.
"Haru, that was amazing!" Makoto complimented, holding his hand out to the young woman.
"You did it, Haru-chan!" Nagisa said happily.
"Haruka-senpai, that was truly inspiring!" Rei declared.
"Yeah, my heart was racing from just watching!" Nagisa agreed.
"Same here! Mine's still racing!" Rei stated.
Haru just stared at her friends. She then got out of the pool.
"We actually get to go to regionals." Makoto said.
"I love you, Haru-chan!" Nagisa yelled as he and the other boys hugged the female member.
"You're all heavy..." Haru said in monotone.
From where he was, Rin watched the team, remembering when they were younger and winning the swim tournament.
...
A few days later, at Iwatobi High School
The entire student body had gathered outside the school on the track and field, all were standing in front of a wooden stage, where the Iwatobi Swim Club was standing. Standing in front of a microphone stand, was a young woman with long, light brown hair, which was tied into two large braids, orange eyes, and glasses.
"As the President of the Student Council, I would like to personally congratulate the Iwatobi Swim Club on their victory in the medley relay." Todo Toka said into the microphone. "Despite being a brand-new club, our swimmers placed in the top eight at prefecturals and qualified for regionals. We hope that they're able to advance to nationals." she turned to the members of the club. "Best of luck to all of you." she told them, smiling kindly as she bowed slightly.
