Also he said it was the only thing he didn't try O: It was hinted at more than that. No, the suddenness, was that it took him less than a week to become good at it. That's the plot hole, but it is covered up a bit by the possibility that he had a natural talent for butterfly and just required the inspiration (the butterfly landing on Haru's chest). No one said he was good at it. They were just impressed that he was actually able to finally swim. |

The guy is extremely athletic, picks up on things rather quickly, and knows the correct form of swimming. I don't think learning how to swim in a week is a plot hole at all; it's pretty realistic. |

| I got a lot of bl vibes especially the Rin and Haruka moments. Other than that it was an interesting episode. Hopefully next week Gou and Ama get to wear a swimsuit or something. |
| Rainbow. Guys selecting swimwear feels so refreshing and fun. Screw that, I'm watching this cause of Kou, and the competitions. |
| So it seems that Rei is the butt-monkey of the group. Thank for the laugh man! |

| I've gotten used to the fanservice, only thing I noticed that when Haruka grabbed the fence tightly, huge implications there. Gou/Kou has no fanservice but ain't she just the cutest little thing! Lool |
| You may read this quote , "However, by that point you'll have been torn to pieces." |
| This anime is great. I find it funny that guys are complaining about too much fan service for girls in this one small anime but in so many other anime's they get boobs every episode and you don't see complaining there. |

Understandably, not everyone will enjoy it and if that is the case, why not just drop the anime and move on instead of participating in these threads every week complaining about how "gay" the episode was? |
| This episode had so much manservice isn't even funny. However Rei sinking in the pool after haru tried teaching him the first time and all their eyes went blank made me laugh so hard I fell out of my chair. |
 |
| After Rin and Haru's conversation I felt like Rin is not an absolutely "bad" character. Hmm, maybe his true personality will be revealed later.. PS: Kou/Gou is awesome <3 |
| To be honest, when I started watching this series I thought "This is going to have so much fanservice it's going to be annoying and I'm sure I won't enjoy it"... oh boy, I was wrong. I laughed the whole episode and every character is actually really likeable ;-; |
| Best Episode so far.... very laughtrip at Rei....swimming while sinking...LOL the reason why Gou-chan wants to come with them is to satisfy her Muscle Fetish...so love Gou-chan.... that Butterfly swim suit FTW! can't wait to watch the next episode... xD |
| Laughing at everyone who honestly expected this to be a sports anime and complaining about the fan service. If you were expecting the swimming version of 'Hajime no Ippo,' you obviously haven't been watching anime long enough. |
Mayanei said: He didn't say anything really rude.. Except for the 'fags' part. I'm sure no one would be offended by that. |
| Loving the OST for this series :) All dat fanservice is nice too. |
 |
| haru's swimsuits lawl |
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)dont hate me cause you aint me( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  |
| Great episode, to see Rei struggle to learn to swim sure was a nice twist to the show, and they're doing really well to work on his struggle to learn to be "Free" like Haru in the water! The swimsuit change part was hilarious, all the different yet weird types of swimsuits. The butterfly one sure fit Rei, and by the looks of it, I guess that style will be his strongest swimming style. Rin isn't as bad as I first thought he would be, and it will be interesting to see where this goes from here after the talk with Haru, dem vibes. And the OST for this show is really good, can't wait for it!  Also another note, to see Kou get tired of the guys shopping swimsuits, I never thought something like this would ever happen! Appearently break next week. |
 |
| I think this ep was better than the last one, honestly. Can't quite come around to Rin's shark teeth, though. |
There was so much plot! Plot, plot everywhere! (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ Moderator Edit It needs a spoiler tag. |

| Freaking LOVED IT!!!! Also, they were very realistic when it came to Rei learning how to swim. When I was three or something, my parents had me taking swimming lessons at the Y. I took the lessons for two years and still could do little more than doggie paddle. When I was nine, I was swimming with water wings at a friend's pool. Suddenly, I realised I was doing it right, took off the water wings, and won a swimming race against said friend that same day. Sometimes, it just clicks... ...Well, that, and my ass of a dad had stopped throwing me in the deep end a couple of years earlier. I was TERRIFIED of water above my head back then. In other news, Rei totally grew on me. He's now my second fave, behind Haru. |

| I really like the music, it sounds so fun. Except the one during the inspiration scene at the end, it didn't fit too much. Music~ |

I was thinking the same thing. I've watched a ton of anime with guy fan service... It's nice to have one where I can drool over yummy half naked boys for a change! Long live Free! |
 |
| Its getting more and more awkward watching this show... Absolutely freaking awkward.. particularly the part where Rei blames his speedos and evryone is staring at it or the part where Rin pushes Haru against grilling and haru grasps the grilling (i mean WTH??? )... Anyways my mom came inside my room when Rei was stretching, too bad she saw this.. She's been giving me funny looks ever since -.- >.< .. |
| I actually want to try those exercises. Ahhh no ep next week T.T Rei-chan~ i love you so no speedos anymore booooo |
Alone on a Friday night? Remember that DIO did nothing wrong! |
| the yaoi was strong in this episode. also Kou is me. I am Kou. |
 |
| The running gags for the series should really be placed properly otherwise viewers will find it repetitive. Not as good as episode 3, but still good. I seriously think Kou will get pregnant at an early age. The Haruka x Rin scene is extremely homoerotic! Damn! XD Makoto makes me swoon as always. Rei mentioning Reynolds number takes me back to my engineering days... Love the ending card... XD The shopping scene is the best! #ButtShots 4/5 |

| I wonder how much Rin x Haruka fanart has spawned due to this episode. |
| Considering Rei has already done other athletics besides swimming, it's kinda weird to see him do static stretches before exercise (in fact, static stretching before exercise can actually make you more prone to injury). As for the episode it was enjoyable, though that close up on Rei's speedo was rather disturbing, especially the penguin part... |
| Lol, I can relate so much in this anime :D It's because this semester, Aquatics is one of our subject... Just as I thought Rei is going to use the butterfly stroke ... :)) |
| I'm dying. Rei. Stop it. You are seriously the most flamboyant character that reeks out "gay" because you analyze too much. Holy crap (Not that I'm complaining about it but still- WOW. KYOANI THE AMOUNT OF GAY.) |
| Cant wait for the next episode... Beach!  |
|
| Oh god. I couldn't stop laughing everytime Rei 'sunk like a rock'. It was funny, even when Haru-chan taught him, he still sunk. But that moment between Rin and Haruka. "You're going to swim for me" That was intense.  Deserted island? Sea? Swimming? You have all my yes! |
| that moment when you realize that men accompanying a lots of girls in a swimsuit shop is to mainstream :D but now it was break by this anime. LUCKY GOU/KOU hahaha! Fan girls scream at this episode with that CICADA BLOCK of Rin xD kyaa! Rei is so Funny as always! :)) waiting for nxt ep.. O///O |
| "Anything is possible if you stop doubting yourself, so put some more faith unto you!" |
| Beach episode next week huh? Well I'll be looking forward to that if Kou would wear some sorts of bikinis. Lulz |
