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?
RE SWIM FAN
what a classic
how inspiring
NOT
unfortunately, I did watch swim fan and noticed they didn't have a very good swimming consultant working on the movie.
If you watch the timing board in the movie during the meet scene, the times are all wrong, he's supposed to be a really great swimmer but the times didn't seem to make any sense.
a non swimmer wouldn't have noticed this
It would be great to have a really awesome
swimming movie, something like "coach carter" or "Vision quest"
something well scripted, totally inspiring
some amazing untold story
or maybe a comedy ala "animal house," "american pie" or "euro trip," about a university swim team the pranks they pull, their parties, the characters and their antics. featuring Swimming, school, Sex, drugs, and rock n roll
I've got some great stories I could fictionalize to protect the guilty.
