SYNOPSIS:
SUZUKI is a high school boy who belongs to the swim team of Tadano Boy’s High School. The arrival of a cute new female swimming instructor sparks newfound interest in the boys.
However, when she reveals her plans of turning the team into an all-male synchronized swimming team, the numbers quickly plummet, leaving only five boys; an athletically inept SATO, a skinny boy OHTA, a math geek KANAZAWA, a timid boy SAOTOME and SUZUKI. But she suddenly discovers she is 8 months pregnant and goes on maternity leave.
Inspired by her dream, the five boys struggle for preparing the high school festival. Once the summer holidays start, they do a training camp under the weird dolphin trainer ISOMURA in the aquarium. But the first exercise ISOMURA orders them is to polish fish tanks.
