Yeah I know, we can clearly see where Saki got the good looking genes from ^^

If it is that’s a shame, considering the best looking one of the three is the one holding it. At least put yourself in the picture, Misao!

I think that's just a camera.

In the bottom left (last) panel, doesn’t it look like Misao is clutching some sort of stopwatch? You can see her hands clasped over her bikini top (yet another thing Saki inherited!) presumably holding something to her chest. It looks either like the strap to a stopwatch or maybe to goggles? After all, where better to train than the beach, and maybe seeing how long Misao could stay underwater sparked something in young Saki.

Yeah I would also love to see a mini series where we see Misao training her daughter to become a sea maiden. Also I wonder if Saki mother still did perform her sacred duties while pregnant? As that would also be interesting to see how a pregnancy would affect one’s freediving

It's possible she passed away and the grandparents took custody. That might be why he returned to the US.

Saki started swimming early, huh? Makes sense. One of the more potent remaining questions is how did her mom’s Shrine Maiden duties transfer? Was it by choice or by force, and how much support did Nate give his daughter after it happened? I’d still like to see some sort of mini-series showing an early training dive with Saki and Nate and/or her mom, as I imagine that cutting yourself off from oxygen through freediving isn’t something most kids Saki’s age would even consider, at least not seriously.
