The story

What Is Swimmer About?

The premise of Swimmer without spoilers.

A young man embarks on a journey across Britain's waterways, swimming through rivers and lakes accompanied by a score of nationalistic music. Along his route, the thoughts and conversations of people he encounters – including children, lovers, and a solitary tramp – are revealed. The narrative explores themes of identity and belonging as he progresses. After a nighttime walk through a dense forest, the boy returns to the water and seemingly disappears beneath the surface.
