Ben's rock-solid, promising future and romance are turned upside-down with the arrival of Madison Bell. Madison, the new girl in town, quickly sets her sights on the impressionable Ben. While their first few meetings are innocent enough, the obsessive and seductive Madison wants more ... much more.

FlashCallahan Ben Cronin has the admiration of his friends, a terrific girlfriend, and an appointment with swim scouts from Stanford. Ben must train for countless hours in the pool for a critical swim meet, work at the local hospital and find time with his girlfriend, Amy. His life is disrupted by the arrival of Madison Bell. The new girl in town quickly sets her sights on Ben. While their first few meetings are innocent enough, Madison wants more....Nothing new to see here, it's your atypical nice person turns psycho after a brush off, and after the rejection, Ben finds his life slowly crashing down around him.It's the age old tale, never stray off the path, and be faithful to the ones you love, because karma will come a knocking at your door, but it's been done to death, and so much better.It's mercifully short though, and the two leads are affable enough, but your just sitting there waiting for the inevitable to happen, then it does, you leave the film, and never think of it again.if you haven't seen any films from this sub-genre before, you may appreciate it more than I did, but you will certainly appreciate the other films in this category.and there are plenty..
Wizard-8 As you have no doubt concluded, even if you have just read the premise of this movie and not have actually watched it yourself, what we have here is a rip-off of "Fatal Attraction" - though this rip-off is aimed at a youth audience. But I think any youth who has some smarts will see this as a really bad movie. It makes the same mistake "Fatal Attraction" did - it makes its male protagonist an unlikable figure (he has a criminal past, he cheats on his girlfriend, etc.) But the problems with the screenplay go beyond that. The male protagonist is also very stupid, failing to tell key people his problem (though that may have ended the movie quickly). The story is painfully predictable even if you haven't seen "Fatal Attraction", and things are wrapped up at the end so quickly, you'll be thinking, "That's it?" While "Fatal Attraction" had some serious flaws, I would encourage youths (or anyone else) to watch that movie instead of "Swimfan".
James Morris OK, I'm probably going to be called simple here.... but it is a good film.Sometimes its easy to get caught up in how stylish a film is, how its shot, the mood and how we are to understand the feeling of a character.sometimes you need a no brainer! this is it, its not clever nor does it try to be. its a simple film, made on lowish budget, but delivers a damn entertaining performance by all parties involved.if you don't expect an art house flick, but want a decent night in then this is for you.It is what it is...... very good! stop complaining and see a film for what it is not what you want it to be.top work all round!
insomniac_rod As a fellow reviewer wrote, this is a "Teen Fatal Attraction". Don't fool yourself. "Swimfan" used the same concept but with teens. Wise movie. FA was a rated R movie that had an excellent box-office reception and it's one of the most popular movies in the past 15 years. "Swimfan" was also very popular and successful mainly because the concept was well accepted by teens.This is an entertaining flick that sincerely, many young men would like to experience. I mean, who would reject such a beauty like Erika Christensen? I mean, even having Shiri A. as a girlfriend makes you consider an adventure.There are some sexy steamy scenes like the one in the pool where Christensen's character, with sexy moans and everything seduces Ben. Also, when she says "panties" is a major turn on. Seriously this is an enjoyable B-flick that you should watch if it airs on T.V.
