Swim Team is an inspiring documentary about swimming and autism

May 17th, 2017

What would you do if your community gave up on your child?

In New Jersey, the parents of a boy on the autism spectrum took matters into their own hands. They formed a competitive swim team, recruiting diverse teens on the spectrum and training them with high expectations and zero pity. What happened next altered the course of the boys' lives.

Swim Team chronicles the extraordinary rise of the Jersey Hammerheads, capturing a moving quest for inclusion, independence and a life that feels like winning.
