Good As Gold (1986)
Grinding, gruelling and unceasing, Dennis Barker's training sessions push his young swimmers to the limits of their endurance. Outstanding among them is 14-year-old Rachel Southern. Destined for stardom perhaps, but also destined to realise that winning doesn't always mean coming first.
