Hattori Mitsuru which serializes in the Weekly Shounen Magazine. The director for this show is listed as
Saotome Kichir. I'm not exactly sure what to expect from this show, but the synopsis does read about a potential mermaid who likes to swim naked. The show is also scheduled to air during the summer, so the timing is impeccable. Staff info as follows..

Animation Director and Character Designer: Nishino Rie
The synopsis in the follwing (
and the picture) is stolen from
ANN:
Kaname Okimura, a student of Prefectoral Umineko Shougyou High ("Umisho" for short), joined the school's swimming club in order to learn how to swim, but the club is filled with weirdos, let alone teach him swimming. Then, a sunny, happy-go-lucky girl named Amuro Ninagawa who was transferred from Okinawa joined the club. Her extraordinary underwater speed and unorthodox swimming style (plus her personal habit of nude swimming -- a powerful magnet to teenage boys) surprised every club member, especially Okimura, because she reminds him a mermaid-like creature he saw only once in his early childhood.
Try to guess which one might be the happy-go-lucky air head. Let the fun begin!
