swimming song

today i took a break from watching futurama to watch the big bad swim. it's on instant and i'm not even sure why i noticed it originally. that's a really dumb title.

it's about a class of adults learning to swim and follows two of the women in the class and the instructor more closely. one of the women, she's also on my favorite bad tv show criminal minds, is a high school calculus teacher who's getting divorced. she starts sleeping with a young gambler who was on scrubs this season before it got canceled and i'm pretty in love with him. that woman (amy) befriends this young blond in the class who's also a dealer at the casino and a stripper.

the instructor used to be a great diver but he got hurt and is not going to therapy and is generally unhappy. he's really cute and a good instructor. it's interesting to see him therapy and to try to figure out what happened to him.

over all, it's a quiet, nice movie about people living their lives and overcoming their problems. or at least working through them, and building friendships. i liked it.

  1. did you ever read miranda july's book of short stories? there was a story about a swim class with no pool, so everyone blew bubbles in bowls and bellies on the carpet.
