* WeUsedToBeFriends: Implied by Rin's description in the early release of the character outlines, in which it's pointed out that after he came back from studying abroad, "[[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2013-04-28/kyoani-outlines-free-swim-team-anime-story-characters his personality changed immensely]]" and that he "[[http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/interest/2013-04-28/kyoani-outlines-free-swim-team-anime-story-characters often perplexes his former teammates]]." Further expounded by the character relation charts, wherein his only connection is through rivalry with Haruka, unlike everyone else who express opinions on everyone else (except him).
Added DiffLines:
* SixthRanger: Rei, though he's an odd case, as according to the cast biography, not only did he recently switch from track to swim team, he's the only person not a part of the original ChildhoodFriends ensemble, and thus likely to have the perspective of an outsider. It's possible that Rin could fill in the role instead, though, as the same biography points out that his former childhood friends feel as if they don't understand him anymore.
