Not sure when this will hit theaters but it looks like it might be a good movie to see and maybe even bring more people into the sport.

I was at imdb.com checking out the description and reviews for this film when I decided to search for "swimming" and "swimmer" in the plot summaries. There are a surprising number of entries including several I wish I could get my hands on. For example, this short from Finland:
Plot Summary for
Krooli (2004)
Krooli (The Crawl) is set almost entirely in or by the water. It uses images to explore the significance of water in the philosophy of swimming. It is not a biographical documentary of a swimmer, although the main characters are real competitive swimmers. Even though the film explores the profound meaning of the interface between a swimmer and the water, it is just as much a story of the meaning of a sport to an individual, a young competing athlete. It speaks of devotion and a search for ones own place in sports and life.
Just thought some of you might also find the listings interesting.
