"This film echoes all that sport in America stands for. The pursuit of excellence, the dignity of athletic competition and the celebration of dreams?" - Roy Essick, Director, U.S. Swimming

"Watermark is one of the best programs on competitive swimming that we have ever seen. I believe that this is about much more than swimming. Every coach and every parent of an athlete should see this film." -Will Colebank, Director of Athlete Development for United States Swimming.
