Within the Kanagawa prefecture lies the seaside city of Umineko . There, Okiura Kaname , a second-year high school student, attends Umineko Shougyou High School ( Umishou ). He is also the manager of Umishou's swim team though he himself does not know how to swim. In fact, he is afraid of the water stemming from an incident that occurred some years ago. While he was at the beach, he nearly drowned when a mermaid pulled him under water. He joined the school's swimming club in order to learn how to swim, but the club is filled with weirdos, who never taught him how to swim. One day, a floating house arrives at the shores of Umishou bearing two new arrivals. One of these is the cheerful, sunny, happy-go-lucky girl named Ninagawa Amuro , a transfer student to Umishou, and the other is her father . Her incredible swimming speed makes her an instant hit with the swimming club, but Kaname is surprised, since she reminds him of the mermaid he saw only once in his early childhood. After her floating house is destroyed during a storm she moves to live at Kaname's house. Note: The fictional island, where the series is set, is modeled on the real island of Enoshima in Fujisawa, Kanagawa .
