* Rin still remembering the strokes that are so characteristic for his friends. Him apparently realizing WHAT it was that he taught Haru what else could be important to swimming victories aside. Him getting positively jealous of Rei... ... pretty much all of the scene is both heartwarming and a MomentOfAwesome. ... just like pretty much all of the episode.

* Where to beginwith episode 11? First there's Sosuke wanting Rin to be happy and successful which is why he asks Haruka to be by his side in his stead. Then, as tearerking their fight is, Makoto and Haru have their fair share too again - Makoto admitting that he never obected to Haru's aloofness and disinterest because he thought this was what Haru wanted and that he now speaks up because he realized that Haruka in fact is NOT happy and that he wants him to find a dream to pursue and to be happy. (in short: both Sosuke and Makoto want their best friend happy and thus ask Haru to go pro.) Basically all the concern people show over Haruka. Makes the rest of the episode just the more tearjerking.
** And before I forget her, Ama-chan being her usual ReasonableAuthorityFigure self and remarking that the principal shouldn't make Haru's life any harder after his breakdown.

* Episode 12, while Rin and Haruka are in Australia, they visit Rin's homestay parents, Russell and Lori. They say that even though Rin put on a cheerful face during his first time in Australia, he had a hard time adjusting to a new country and language, so they made sure to make him feel as much at home as possible. It's obvious that Rin cares as much about them as if they were his real parents.

* In general both Haru and Rin are much more open than in the first season. Haru is still generally quiet and TheStoic, and Rin tends to be aloof and sometimes irritable. But they're both clearly happier and more engaged with the world and their friends. Haru's obsession with water seems to have relaxed into his biggest interest, and he's interested in other things too now. Rin cares about and tries to support people, even the ever-exasperating Momotaru.

* Sousuke going out of his way to coach Nitori's late night swimming practice in episode 8, and insisting that he takes a break beforehand after seeing how much the poor boy has tired himself out practicing in his efforts to improve. It's even more touching considering the implications that [[spoiler:Sousuke has gotten his GameBreakingInjury from similarly overworking himself]] and that he wanted to prevent the same from happening to Nitori.

* The reason Rei had been falling asleep in class and sneaking off, using errands as excuses after school in episode 3; [[spoiler: he'd been going to Samezuke to receive late night swimming lessons from Rin so he could practise the other swimming strokes. Even better, he was doing it to surprise his friends.]]

* Seeing the cast on good terms from the first episode. From Haru and Rin's friendly rivalry to Rin continuing to call Nitori "Ai" and seeing more of the Matsuoka's support and love for each other, it's certainly a nice way to open up the season.
