Great title!* Fairly dismal film has ex offender Ray Winstone training for Torquay swimming event, befriending Julie Shipley, Tony London and Emily Moore, to the detriment of their careers. His progress hindered by unpleasant Glasgow types. Amusing ending where Winstone, pursued by cops, starts the race late, has time en route to save said Youth, make him confess to police and still win the race!
A key year for Winstone - both Quadrophenia and Scum also came out in 1979.
David Watkin shot it, not that you'd notice in TPTV's rubbish screening.
*Having said that, the best one I could come up with was Offenders and that's hardly brilliant nor helpful in selling the film. Perhaps a line of dialogue from one of the characters? Give the job to ChatGPT and you'll end up with a film called Yeah... Dunno!
