It’s a touching glimpse at a community solution to an inclusion problem, where the water’s more than just fine.
Director Lara Stolman explores this paradox — that these young men must submerge themselves in the water to emerge as the best possible versions of themselves — with her modest documentary feature debut.
Swim Team mostly aims to educate and inspire; on those counts, it succeeds.
The doc’s personal portraits of the work required to forge an independent life should connect with and inspire parents and educators.
