Ok…this is kind of a slam dunk because there are not many swimming movies. There should be, but there are not. Touch the Wall was probably the last one and that was in 2014.
Nyad is still a great swim movie about a woman and an amazing swim accomplishment and the drive we all hope to have when we want something bad enough. It’s definitely worth the watch and worthy of Swim and Vibe “Best of” honors.
For other movies/TV where swimming plays a minor role you can watch Swimfan (2002), a story of a high school swim star who is being stalked by a girl (because who doesn’t stalk swimmers?) , Crawl, where the main character is a college swimmer trying to avoid becoming alligator bait in a hurricane, and also the SNL swim coach sketch with Alec Baldwin or the SNL Cheerleaders swim cheer!
