Swimfan Discussion Thread - Everyone into the Pool!

Swimfan


Ben Cronin has it all: the admiration of his many friends, a terrific girlfriend, and an appointment with swim scouts from Stanford. It's not easy; Ben must train for countless hours in the pool for a critical swim meet, work at the local hospital and find quality time with his high school sweetheart, Amy. His wonderful life is disrupted by the arrival of Madison Bell. The new girl in town quickly sets her sights on the impressionable Ben. While their first few meetings are innocent enough, the seductive Madison wants more.


Cast
Jesse Bradford - Ben Cronin
Erika Christensen - Madison Bell
Shiri Appleby - Amy Miller
Kate Burton - Carla Cronin
Clayne Crawford - Josh
Jason Ritter - Randy

Swimfan factoids.

During the scene in the hospital Shiri actually fell asleep while they were shooting her in the hospital bed.

The stunt person refused to do the pool scene so the director asked Shiri if she would do it. Shiri got some on the spot scuba lessons and did the scene herself. She later remarked laughing - "Yeah, Tom Cruise, Jacki Chan and me - we all do our own stunts"

That was great. I did not know about her falling asleep in the hospital. That is so cute. I did however know about her being asked to do her own stunts. Go Shiri. They should make a remake of a super hero movie like wonder women and cast Shiri as the lead role. She would be great. After watching Darklight she definitely pull off wearing leather. BTW when I was in HS I took Scuba lesions. I have not gone diving in ages but it was lots of fun. On an off topic side note I happen to rely like the song Hospital food by David Gray.

I LOVED this movie. My gosh. I had so much admiration for her character. She was so strong minded. I loved the deleted scene where she tells Erica C's character off. It was great.
Amy & Ben made such an adorable couple. In the beginning when he gave her that neclace w/the piece of the pool... gosh. I thought it was soooo sweet!

I wanted to see this movie the day it came out but unfortunately it came out on a Jewish holiday so I could not see it right away. Don’t they know that Shiri is Jewish and would not be able to see it as well. How rude!

I read somewhere that the director had multiple scripts. One ending with Ben losing everything - swimming, his job and Amy. They thought it was too much of a downbeat ending so they considered having him reinstated to the swim team and in the end when the race is finished Ben surfaces and we see a neutral Amy looking on.

wow interesting I thought the ending was good but it seemed too choppy with Ben swimming then going to the car at the end with Amy I felt they could have sumed it up a little bit what happened with some conversation like the victum was found dead in the pool caused her own death and that it was all a mix up and let Ben back on the team and he was driving Amy off to the airport so she could go to off to college but that they were going to be ok and that Ben's mom was ok as well.

Some type of conversation at the end would have been nice.

Hi Mr. G... interesting indeed... would have certainly been too downbeat, IMHO.

Hi Erin, Eric!

Hi Crystaline, Angie!
