Re: the "snap" question,

I'm guessing Rin is referring to the natural flexion that occurs when you hit the downbeat of the flutter kick- that perfect balancing point where you're pushing against the water, but not pushing hard enough that you don't allow the water's natural resistance to push back. But I don't know if there is actually a term for it? I can't remember ever hearing one- I know when I was training distance/middle distance for a couple years in college, my coach called it the "down kick," but I'm not sure if that would be applicable in a sprinting situation where the kick is harder and more constant as opposed to rhythmic?

Either way, I think "snap" works just fine for what is being conveyed. Good choice :).

Thank you for this chapter. There are some great details in here that I missed in the first translation I read. Also, sorry, tinyHaru, I kind of adore tinyRin in all his precocious glory. XP
