   Location: Iwatobi Town Iwatobi is a rural, seaside port town on the southwest coast of Japan. It is considered a small town with an average-sized population with local traditions and customs. Iwatobi town's primary industries are tourism and fishing. Its identity as a port town is particularly important in the life of Makoto, who develops thalassaphobia after a typhoon takes the life of an old fisherman he knew as a child, making Makoto fearful of deep waters and the ocean.

   The smell of the ocean is nearly present across the entire town, due in part to it's proximity to the ocean and the fishing industries, giving the town a distinct smell that the residents have adjusted to.

   Iwatobi town has lovely beaches that run along the ocean side of the town, with pearly soft sandy beaches, being a popular spot to watch the sunset over the water.

   Iwatobi has some verticality to it, as houses are often built up along the hillside of the landscape, lending many houses to have step up into them or for pathways and streets to rarely be flat in rural parts of town.

   Location: Iwatobi High School The school building is divided into north and south buildings located near the seashore, where the smell of ocean water is always present. The school building itself bears a resemblance to a ship moving on the sea with a backdrop of blue sky.

   The school's pool, located on the outside of the primary building, a minutes walk away, and was left unkept for years, seeing as there was no swim club to speak of. It wasn't until recently, when the swim club would finally have members again, that it would end up being cleaned and looking presentable.

   The school's usual uniform for boys consists of light brown trousers, a white shirt with a necktie in the respective cohort of their attendance (1st years-red, 2nd-green, or 3rd-blue), dark gray blazer and shoes of the boy's own choice. During the spring and summer, school's summer uniform for boys consists of gray trousers, a white shirt with a dark gray collar, a dotted necktie colored in the years' respective color and shoes of the boy's own choice.

There, three deserted islands and a single inhabited one are housed, all of varying sizes, with the inhabited one being the largest, with some swimming facilities and lodges, as well as a small town center housing general goods and small shops.

   All four islands are within swimming distance, they are just rather far apart compared to something like a swimming pool, being about twenty minute's of constant swimming though the ocean between the islands.

   The uninhabited islands are lush with dense forests and beaches, housing some small abandoned buildings and one having a larger uninhabited light house on it.

   Location: The Iwatobi High School Swim Club Founded by swimmers Haruka Nanase, Makoto Tachibana, and Nagisa Hazuki with Gou Matsuoka (Rin Matsuoka's younger sister) as manager and Iwatobi High School classical literature teacher Miho Amakata as faculty advisor. Rei Ryugazaki later joins as the necessary fifth member to create a school club and four swimmers needed to participate in events and engage in joint practices with the neighboring schools.

   The club is not particularly used to new requits, as most of the school is rather uninterested in the swim club, despite the school once having a rather impressive and large showing to the swim club in the past. This left the outdoor pool in disarray, and in great need of a deep cleaning and refresh, allowing the club to flourish once again.

   The club room, located in the outdoor pools attached building and entrance area, is a smaller room with a few cubbies for backpacks and supplies.

   The changerooms are relatively small, housing a few out in the open showerheads and lockers for clothes. The space is tiled floor to ceiling with white tiles, and the showers are without any privacy curtains or walls, as it's expected club members and people grow comfortable being nude around each other, as is common practice in Japan.

   The clubs uniforms are yellow shirts with the schools bird mascot on it, and the clubs title as well. The club shirts are most often only worn when going to neighboring schools or swim meets, allowing the members to display their schools club and represent them properly at any competition they enter.

His love for swimming is not about competition or glory—it’s about the feeling of freedom and connection he finds in the water.

He folds his arms loosely, expression unreadable, but his voice carries quiet conviction. "If someone doesn’t understand that, I don’t really care. The water understands me."

And friends cheer each other on, no matter what." He leans forward conspiratorially, eyes glinting with playful energy. "Plus, I’m not losing to anyone in breaststroke. No way. I’ll train ‘til my legs fall off before that happens!"
