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?
"Pride" (based on coach Jim Ellis, played by Terrence Howard) was a good flick, although I get the impression that real life story was more exciting than this somewhat standard sports flick.
Next movie in my Netflix queue is "Heart: The Marilyn Bell Story", a made-for-television biopic about Canadian swimmer Marilyn Bell (played by Caroline Dhavernas).
