Here are five reasons to see TOUCH THE WALL with your team in a theater Down Under.
1. IT A MOVIE ABOUT SWIMMING
I said it before and I will say it again, this movie is all about swimming. This never happens, and when it does, it typically isn’t like swimming at all. Touch the Wall is rank with chlorine, the real-deal. You will identify with daily struggles, successes, and inside jokes. You’ll love it if you are a swimmer and appreciate the struggle and triumph that happens in the film.
2. THIS MOVIE WILL MAKE YOU CRY — IN A GOOD WAY
The first five minutes of this film will grab you and pull you in to the story. Yes this is a story about American Swimmers but swimming is the same everywhere in the world and this story transcends place and nationality and has a message much deeper that swimmers everywhere can relate with. I was at the premiere in New York City and cried like a baby.

3. A TEAM EVENT THAT DOESN’T INVOLVE SWIMMING
Swim Teams need to get away from the pool sometimes and do something fun. Touch the Wall is a fun film. Yes, it’s dramatic at times, but you’ll enjoy all of swim-insider fun parts too, and remember them for a lifetime. This is a chance to bring your family and friends who are not swimmers and psyche them up about the sport. It’s also a prime opportunity to raise money for your team in an unconventional way.
4. DOLPHINS + MERMAIDS
Do you like dolphins? Of course you do. Everyone does, but you’ve never seen elite swimmers swimming with dolphins like this. We promise you it’s a magical moment, very mermaid-like in a way that is awe-inspiring. This ain’t no Disney cartoon. It’s cool…and worth seeing the movie for this one moment alone.

5. CAUSE YOU CAN’T SEE IT ANYWHERE ELSE…YET
That’s right. If want to see this film, you have to do it in a theater, and you want to see it in a theater. It’s epic. While you can order a DVD on the website and ship it to Australia, it’s not the same as seeing it with your team. Swimming is a team sport so see it with your team.
