Swim Lessons
The Nick Irons Story
 

Synopsis


Ever since he was a boy, Nick wanted to do something to help his dad who suffered from multiple sclerosis, a painful, incurable nerve disease. Then in his 20s, he saw the Mississippi River from a cross-country flight, and knew what he had to do: swim its length. Eighteen months later, and with the help of family, friends, and even total strangers, Nick completed his incredible quest. Using retrospective interviews, archival news footage, photos, maps, and family home movies, the film chronicles Nick’s historic and inspiring feat.
