Swimmers (film)

Swimmers is a 2005 American independent drama about a waterman's family on Chesapeake Bay's eastern shore. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 22, 2005, and won the Grand Jury Prize for Best New American Film from the Seattle International Film Festival. The title and theme of the film were inspired by the Latin name for the Chesapeake Bay's indigenous Maryland blue crab – Callinectes sapidus – Callinectes translates as "beautiful swimmers."

Casting

  • Tara Devon Gallagher plays the pivotal role of 11-year-old Emma Tyler, whose passion for swimming is suddenly disrupted by an ear injury requiring expensive surgery. Although Gallagher never had an acting class before – much less ever acted, she beat out hundreds of other preteens from New York, Los Angeles and Maryland. Producers said that they were blown away in her initial audition when they asked her to improvise a line of dialog in the script. Sadler says, "it was clear she was seeing and experiencing those things in her mind's eye."

    I was
    Waiting for you
    I was
    Standing around
    I was
    Getting older
    I was
    Going down
    If you always get up late
    You'll never be on time
    If you always make it after work
    ba ba dada
    after work
    Oh the day never comes
    and I stand up
    Waiting on
    I saw you down there
    I know you were tired
    I saw you
    You looked like a swimmer
    I wanna be with you
    All of the time
    Why can't you satisfy
    You look good
    but you sound better
    you were the best I had
    If you always get up late
    You're never gonna be on time
    If you always get up late
    You're never gonna be on time
    And that's a shame
    Cause I like you
