deadend★★★★★VerifiedEP 12This episode was really exciting! I couldn't wait to see who would win. It was also great seeing how much their teamwork has improved—it really shows how far they've come.
Kaname Okiura, a student of Prefectoral Umineko Shougyou High ("Umishou" for short), joined the school's swimming club in order to learn how to swim, but the club is filled with weirdos, let alone who can teach him swimming. Then, a sunny, happy-go-lucky girl named Amuro Ninagawa who transferred from Okinawa joined the club. Her extraordinary underwater speed and unorthodox swimming style (plus her personal habit of nude swimming—a powerful magnet to teenage boys) surprised every club member, especially Okiura, because she reminds him of a mermaid-like creature he saw only once in his early childhood.
A cheerful, skilled swimmer from Okinawa, Amuro loves nude ocean swims and her large bust attracts attention.

deadend★★★★★VerifiedEP 13OMG, I loved that ending! I actually got emotional. It was so wholesome while still keeping the comedy. I loved the pacing of the show, and the characters really grew on me.
deadend★★★★☆VerifiedEP 11Well, I knew it was a bad idea to do that challenge the day before. It got more emotional toward the end, but the ending felt really wholesome.
deadend★★★★☆VerifiedEP 10A festival episode! It had the usual festival moments, but it still managed to feel unique. It was lighthearted and fun, and it was a nice break before the Kantou Tournament.
mazel★★★★★VerifiedEP 13What a great episode. The tension is so good that it even makes you cheer for them 🤣. It's also a wholesome episode. The way this episode ends makes it feel like it won't get another season, but I really hope it continues because it's a good one. Anyway, this anime is definitely worth watching from episode 1 to episode 13. Overall, it's a great anime.
mazel★★★★★VerifiedEP 12What a wholesome episode. The way they delivered it was really great. The comedy is still there and doesn't drop at all, even with all the serious moments, creating a nice balance between the two. The song and dance that Ikariya and the team performed were really fun to listen to, even though they were meant to be funny 🤣.
mazel★★★★★VerifiedEP 11This is a great episode. When the comedy suddenly shifts into a more serious tone, it has a much bigger emotional impact, and it works really well. The ending is so wholesome. The tournament begins here, and the story progresses naturally from there.
mazel★★★★★VerifiedEP 10Another hilarious episode, especially the last segment 🤣🤣. The last part of the episode is definitely different. It's not related to the story progression, but it's still a good one. I don't know if Takeda is lucky or not 🤣.
mazel★★★★★VerifiedEP 9This episode is so hilarious. The last segment makes it even funnier, and seeing Makio having to put in more effort is just too hilarious 🤣. Anyway, the story progresses here since it explores part of the past, and the pacing is just right as always.
deadend★★★☆☆VerifiedEP 9We learn more about Sanae and how the swimming club was established. It was nice getting some backstory, and now I'm really looking forward to the Kantou Tournament!
deadend★★★★☆EP 8We got introduced to a rival school with another weird but interesting personality. The swimming competition was really fun to watch, and I love that the show still keeps all the comedy—it makes everything even more enjoyable.

mazel★★★★☆EP 8It's a good episode. The tournament begins and also ends in this episode. The pacing is good since nothing feels rushed, and they let us see the characters do their part 🤣. Ninagawa is so innocent that there are still a lot of things she doesn't know yet 🤣.
mazel★★★★☆VerifiedEP 7It's always a funny episode. The way they come to conclusions because of Kaname is hilarious 🤣. Anyway, the story is progressing well, but this episode doesn't have a big impact on the main story. It's still fun to watch, though, since there are a lot of funny moments.
mazel★★★★☆VerifiedEP 6A good eye candy episode. I guess this anime has a problem with its structures since they always get wrecked 🤣. Another new character joins the team and is introduced in this episode. The story also focuses more on her.
mazel★★★★☆VerifiedEP 5What a small island they live on. Shizuoka always getting caught by Kaname is hilarious. It's another funny episode. The story progresses here, and the innocence of these characters is a joy to watch, excluding Takeda 🤣.
mazel★★★★☆VerifiedEP 4Shizuoka is so lucky that Kaname is always the one who sees him, not the others 🤣. Anyway, another good episode. The pacing is just right, and the story keeps progressing little by little.
deadend★★★★☆VerifiedEP 7This was a really hilarious episode! Watching everyone help Amuro find her lost X was a lot of fun, and the whole thing had me laughing from start to finish.
mazel★★★★☆VerifiedEP 3Its making me wonder if they go to school to study or just go straight to the pool 🤣. Anyway, another good episode. The comedy is great, and I was kind of surprised when the ending song started playing early since I thought there was still a lot of time left. It was a nice touch, though, since they still had more content after the ending song.
deadend★★☆☆☆VerifiedEP 6We get introduced to another character, and I don't really like her—she's what I'd call a pick-me. They're better than me, though; I would've just kicked her out. She made me dislike this episode, her and the boys.
