...some tough critics here (wow)... The film was a revelation to me. I started year-round swimming as a 12-year-old in the Delaware Valley, and we participated in meets in the Philadelphia area. I remember PDR, but not because I thought of them any differently than any other teams. There were one or two boys from PDR who were doing well in my age group at the time. I also remember the team more recently from when I was coaching in the area (mid-late '90's). Until I saw the movie, I had no idea what Jim Ellis had done, aside from coaching an excellent team that appeared to be more diverse than the others. BTW, sorry I missed the earlier thread - I don't get here too often these days. :wave:

Lots of our age group swimmers saw it back in the Spring time. A few of the masters did too... forums.usms.org/showthread.php

My wife and I watched it with my kids. We mostly enjoyed it. Plot was very predictable...swimming technique...um...a bit odd...events unfolded somewhat unrealistically, especially at the end. M

I liked it. Our swim team saw it as a group on opening night.

I enjoyed the movie, but must admit it was a little corny.
