The year is
1973, and Jim Ellis, a college-educated African-American, can’t find a job.
Driven by his love of competitive swimming, Jim converts an abandoned
recreational pool hall in a Philadelphia slum with the help of Elston, a local
janitor. But when city officials mark the new Philadelphia Department of
Recreation for demolition, Jim fights back--by starting the city’s first
African-American swim team. Recruiting troubled teens from the streets, Jim
struggles to transform a motley team of novices into capable swimmers--all in
time for the upcoming state championships. But as racism, violence and an
unsympathetic city official threaten to tear the team apart, Jim must do
everything he can to convince his swimmers that victory, both in and out of the
pool, is within their reach.
