On a glorious summer Sunday in Connecticut, buff Burt Lancaster (as Ned "Neddy" Merrill) finds himself separated from his suburban home, clad in only swimming trunks. He decides to "swim home," going from pool to pool. As it turns out, Mr. Lancaster knows all the residents in the area. And, each swimming pool brings him closer to his destination. At first, it seems like smooth sailing - but, evidently, not everyone is happy to see Lancaster. Each property reveals a little more about "The Swimmer", who may be psychologically unraveling in middle-aged angst. When his journey ends, you may be in for a surprise. Or, you may not.
