Rin’s reaction to watching Haru swim.  It was so intense he had to be helped out of the pool!

Quote from the novel:

He tried to do what he could to catch up, but when he made the touch he had just barely made fourth place. He didn’t even have the time to see Haruka dive in overhead.

All of a sudden, he felt a light and turned around. Haruka was swimming. Haruka was swimming while shining. His strong energy had become a shining light, and it was so dazzlingly bright it emitted from Haruka.

Rin was unable to move. He couldn’t take his eyes off of him. Rin’s heart was completely enraptured by Haruka’s gliding swimming, that was like a water bird dancing in the sky with it’s wings spread wide.

It was only after Haruka had made the turn that Rin somehow made it up onto the poolside, pulled up by Makoto. With a huge lead, Haruka’s head rose to the surface. Then he started his stroke. (x)
