Are there any good swim movies?

I am looking movies with swimming in it. just to get a little bit inspiration to haul my ass to the pol i guess. Now watching “Pride” on the cable and it is a good movie actually.

Unfiltered, I’ve only heard of it, haven’t seen it though.

Pride is a good one.

How about “swimming upstream” ? have you seen that???

not a movie - but read “Gold in the Water” by PH Mullen. That will get your little fishie tail into the pool.

looks like he has a beer gut!:slight_smile:

I thought swimming upstream was decent as well.

On a Clear Day.

Can’t be any worse then me watching LOST Dvds on a trans atlantic flight

Has anyone seen “Pride” yet?

I watched it last night. Not bad.

What would be cool is if they did a “What It Takes” type of movie about Mark Warkentin and the other Olympic hopefuls as they train and race in the 2008 Beijing Open Water Swimming 10K
.

Heart: The Marilyn Bell Story was ok.

Swimming Upstream

The true story of Tony Fingleton, a young man from a troubled family who found the inner strength to become a champion. Always overshadowed in his father’s eyes by his brothers, it is only when Tony displays an extraordinary swimming talent that he feels he has a shot at winning his father’s heart.

There was an old Burt Lancaster movie called The Swimmer.

Styrrell

I saw one a few years ago… I can’t remember the name, but it was about two Australian brothers vying for their father’s attantion and competeing against each other eventually competing for a spot to go to the Olympics… I guess that is not very helpful… it was good though… :slight_smile:
