Suzuki is the last remaining member of Tadano High School's swim team. If no new members join the team this year,it will be cancelled altogether. Fortunately, a pretty teacher, Sakuma, is picked as a swim team's new coach.

After class, 30 young men gather at the poolside. Many of them want to join the team for the reasons other than a love of the water! Sakuma, however,had dreamed of coaching a synchronised swimming team, an ambition that was shattered when she was assigned to work at a boy's school. She announces to the students that she plans to teach them synchronised swimming in spite of their gender. Most of young men flee instantly.

When the dust settles, only five students including Suzuki are left. Hoping to cheer Sakuma up, they launch into a silly imitation of Olympic-style women's synchronised swimming moves. An overjoyed Sakuma decides that the team will present a synchronised swimming performance at the school festival. The five members are taken aback...
