Take a humorous and poignant look at the middle-aged members of Sweden’s all-male synchronized swim team.
Dylan Williams’ “Men Who Swim” is a humorous and poignant look at a group of middle-aged men — including the filmmaker — who found unlikely success as members of Sweden’s all-male synchronized swimming team. What began as a weekly escape from the daily grind of work and family responsibilities gradually evolved into a more serious commitment. Inspired by classical techniques from 1950s-era swimmer Esther Williams, this group of train drivers and meat buyers, archivists and teachers soon became passionate exponents of the sport.
