Review of Swimming Upstream (2002) by Alexander W — 11 Jan 2008

He story of a young man's struggle to gain his fathers love and approval.

As the most sensitive and brightest boy of a very large family, Tony tries to please his macho father who appears to be unimpressed by his academic prowess and only accepts sporting triumph as sucess.

Based-on-a-real-life film with stunning pool filming and good looking actors.

Swimmers will understand the pull that the pool has on Tony as he copes with his difficult life.

An inspiration to get back into serious swimming.
