‘Swimming’ is an original mockumentary short following an eccentric Welsh endurance swimmer as he prepares for the challenge of a lifetime. Set in the fictional harbour town of Port Fishwater, Swimming explores Gethin’s dreams and doubts, as well as the encouragement and reservations of the people around him. Made by a group of young British filmmakers, Swimming follows in a strong tradition of absurd character comedy, inspired by the humour of British eccentricities and idiosyncrasies.
