Can anyone recommend any movies about swimming? A movie with entertainment value (drama, documentary, fiction, nonfiction), not like a technical skills video.
I've seen "SwimFan" which is the only one I can really think of. I actually know the lead actress Erika Christensen. It's kind of a creepy movie though.
There's also "The 13th Year", a disney channel movie from the 90's about a middle school boy swimmer who turns into a Merman (male mermaid). I don't think I'd want to watch that again although it might bring back some childhood nostalgia.
I'm sure there are some other good ones out there. Any recommendations?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer - "Go Fish"???
Xander goes undercover on the Sunnydale swim team after two members are seemingly eaten, leaving only their skins. Their coach has been giving them steroids combined with fish DNA, which turns them into sea monsters. Buffy confronts the coach, and he is killed by the swim-team sea monsters.
They actually mentioned Gertrude Ederle in that episode. I really think there was a former swimmer on the Buffy production staff at that time because it seemed like the episode had a lot of shout outs and references to the East German doping abuses.
