Swimming Movie Review 2000

Teenaged tomboy Frankie (Ambrose) works in the family diner in the resort town of Myrtle Beach, S.C., alongside her older brother Neil (Pais). Her best friend is extroverted body piercer Nicola (Dundas Lowe), who is somewhat overprotective of the inexperienced Frankie. This shows when Neil hires slinky, confident Josee (Carter) as a waitress and Josee makes a pass at Frankie, who doesn't know how to react. Frankie also catches the eye of newcomer Heath (Harrold) to whom she is drawn, although he makes her no romantic promises. Coming-of-ager with an appealing performance by Ambrose.
