Makoto teaching children. It was so gorgeous. I was melting.

Was Kisumi mentioned in the first season? I don't remember him at all. But Haru is so cute when he talks with him.

Sousuke is a human, wow. He has some feelings and he was learning Ai-chan. That's surprising.

I don't like kids, but something about seeing Makoto finding his passion with teaching kid is precious.
I really liked this episode, even if it was a "filler."

It looks like Makoto found what he wants to do after school.

I don't even remember who Kisumi is. It sucks to have a bad memory :(

Makoto was so cute as a coach <3 I want to know what Haru will decide about his future (I don't think he will choose to swim professionally as well)

Oh my... Hayato is so adorable! Makoto should be a coach. He's kind and patient, I think it suits him perfectly.

So Sousuke has a shoulder injury? He shouldn't have kept that a secret. It will just make things worse.

A filler episode, eh? While I think it's kind of a filler episode, it still had some important parts. Sousuke's shoulder injury, for example. I wish they shortened the other parts, though.

i still don't care much about makoto. he's too kind, too dependable, too perfect, makes him a bit boring. i'm not really a fan of the perfect boyfriend material type. maybe that's why i didn't enjoy this episode that much.
but it was a nice one. it was cute to see him finding himself a little bit in teaching the kids. i think makoto has it a bit hard, loving to swim and wanting to swim forever with his friends but graduation is coming and he knows that he won't be able to do that forever. it makes one lost to love something and be good at it but not good enough to make a living out of it. idk, first time i kinda related to him.

[and kisumi is hot. <3 but my heart is still nagisa's.]

I love Makoto! I bet he'll be a great father one day. :D <3
I hope there isn't anything serious with Sousuke coming up. I'll be so mad if he'll think about not swimming anymore.
I wonder is Haru jealous over Makoto and his friend. It seemed like that guy tried to own Makoto when they were younger, and now Haru feels threatened. But that would be very stupid, since there's such a scenario between Rin and Haru too. I mean from the way Sousuke is looking at it.

Oh this was a sweet episode, I think Makoto would actually be a pretty good coach :) Maybe this has inspired him?! :O So the new guy's name is Kisumi, no wonder they were saying "Kiss me" in the preview lol XD It seems as though Haru doesn't like him much ... uh oh lol :P Hm, so is Sousuke hiding the fact that he hurt his shoulder?! That would explain why he "lost momentum" and isn't swimming in as many races. Looks like he confronts Haru next episode about why he swims too ... dun dun dun! I think things are starting to get serious :P

This is not the first time I watched this episode. Makoto taught Hayato how to swim. Apparently Sousuke had problems with his shoulder.

If only traumas were that easy to overcome...

Nice episode overall. The revelation of Sousuke being injured seems interesting and Makoto + Kids is such an adorable combination, a perfect 10/10 combo.

Makoto really enjoyed being a swimming instructor. If he doesn't make it to the big time, who knows, maybe that's his future.

Also, we just learned from Kisumi that Sousuke had a shoulder injury. Is it really fully healed?

This episode easily proves that Makoto is best boy. Rock on.

Also finding out Sousuke had hurt his shoulder before was a huge shock. I wonder how that will affect the upcoming relay.
