A lighthearted, feel-good comedy about misfits finding camaraderie and confidence through an unconventional sport, built on warmth and humor rather than conflict.

In a Japanese school, 5 adolescent geeks join the new sport teacher and take up the challenge to take part in the synchronised swimming competition, in-spite of the mockeries of the real sportsmen.
