00:00:00.740 --> 00:00:04.620
Will Swim Team's amazing true story inspire
the whole family?

00:00:07.020 --> 00:00:09.520
"At one time or another, all of our kids have been ostracized."

00:00:09.520 --> 00:00:14.740
"And for them to be part of a team is unbelievable."

00:00:14.900 --> 00:00:16.240
Absolutely.

00:00:16.520 --> 00:00:20.840
This powerful and moving documentary follows
the trials and triumphs of a team of young

00:00:20.840 --> 00:00:23.410
swimmers – all of whom have autism.

00:00:23.410 --> 00:00:27.390
"When I'm swimming, I feel normal."

00:00:27.390 --> 00:00:32.410
The only red flag here is some swearing, which
includes F-bombs and more, from a young man

00:00:32.410 --> 00:00:34.010
with Tourette syndrome.

00:00:34.010 --> 00:00:40.860
But overall, the characters are truly inspirational,
modeling important values like empathy and patience.

00:00:40.860 --> 00:00:42.260
"You're giving kids an opportunity."

00:00:42.260 --> 00:00:44.600
"The whole thing is you can't give up on your child."

00:00:44.600 --> 00:00:49.000
Mixed in with the great themes are uplifting
lessons about perseverance and teamwork.

00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:51.660
"So guys, give the best that you got!"

00:00:52.460 --> 00:00:54.880
"Hammerheads!"

00:00:55.480 --> 00:01:01.340
