Hi! Just wanted to pass on the name of a movie I watched last night- "Swimming Upstream". It was a good flick based on a true story about a champion backstroker from Australia. It portrayed his life from childhood and his endless pursuit to please his father. It was motivating to see the guy train so hard.
Does anyone know of any other good movies about swimming or swimmers?

It's fairly recent. www.mgm.com/swimmingupstream/#
It's a true story about Australia's backstroke legend Tony Fingleton who grew up in an abusive home, suffering through much abuse from an alcoholic father. Really well done.
There was a movie from way back in black and white called The Swimmer. That's a classic.
