[Free!] Prefectural Medley Relay

The Iwatobi Swimming Club's first relay at the prefectural tournament.

The race was originally split between two episodes (8 and 9), so I combined it for your viewing pleasure! Also Haru's leg had some singularly lame background music, so I replaced it with something more fitting.
And I toned down the girls' screaming because good grief, my ears.

Please tell me if you think I should edit it differently; I'm still new to this audio finagling business : D

If you'd like to see the final race from episode 12:

I can't believe this is the anime that affects me so much. It makes me want to spend time with my friends more and appreciate them..

[nmana]

Am I the only swimmer who doesn't bother the swimming details and animation flaws that much? I mean, i was totally awed by the flowy animation ..and the WATER!! They made it seem so real!!

[mfdpackleader]

omg i feel soo bad 4 rin...cuz i know how he feels when all your friends are happy and stuff and your just like standing there watching there happiness.

[LittleGirl]

Haru carried everyone on his shoulder in this anime like.. my boy just wanted to be free but there was always something holding him back every season 😩

[logansluckycluckers]

I don't know why, but I just love watching Makoto swim xD

[dreamdrawer]

Shut up rin, I can't even do butterfly!

[ちどる]

いつも誰かに絡まれる遙が1番可哀想だよ...
1期→凛
2期→宗介
3期→ひより

I am going to sound like such an asshole, but am I the only person who lowkey finds it amusing seeing Rin being salty? Like, this dude is the one who rejected them, so seeing him upset kinda makes me laugh.
I love Rin, but let's be honest -- he was a dick 1st season haha.

[jocelynd]

This is such an underrated anime! The art style is beautiful and it’s fun to watch but nobody talks about it😭

[otakuorarmy]

man I have to learn how to swim in the pool

[beenboozled]

Haru saying "stop it" to nagisa while being breathless is my new fave sound 😍

[rielalto]

He's the one who rejected his friends but he gets jealous? Can someone explain why?

[ane]

I think we are all Kou and Miss Amakata while watching this.

[yourlocalmarchingweeb]

This anime, is my favorite of all time. As a swimmer, this connects on a personal level and it has a piece of my heart, thank you free 🤍🖤

[gracecanartsometimes]

Rei is bae. Respect Rei- bae Rin. I love all of them.

[izzatinajib]

i think it's normal for rin to be jealous that he wasnt in the same team anymore, even though he was the one who kinda like despised his friends. he was still a teenager though. even irl, there are people who could feel the same way rin felt.

[edra]

Im glad Rin gets to make his own Relay Team in the next season with Sousuke Nitori and Momo
He sees how happy Haru and his group are swimming together and he wants to partake in that himself
All he wanted were friends to swim with

[aoto]

This anime is one of the many reasons why swimming is my favorite sport.

[Mid]

This is so nostalgic, i remember watching it as a kid

[Rriitr]

I had panic from water, after watching free anime, decided to learn swimming, i am intermediate swimmer now, I can’t believe how stunning and motivative it was😍😍
