Swimming Upstream - To Boost Your Self-esteem
The
inspiring true story of Tony Fingleton, a young man from a troubled
family who found the inner strength to become a champion. Always
overshadowed in his father's eyes by his brothers, it is only when Tony
displays an extraordinary swimming talent that he feels he has a shot at
winning his father's heart.
Harold Fingleton, a vile, brutal harbor laborer, is obsessed with sports and macho toughness
to the point of encouraging eldest son Harold to bully sensitive junior
Tony, whom both abuse as 'sissy'. Only when he discovers Tony and his
sweet, timid brother John have a talent for swimming, he turns away from
boxer Harold to make them both toil in the pool beyond exhaustion. yet
only John gets proud paternal praise, Tony is systematically ignored or
belittled. After Tony proves himself the very best, dad actually devotes
to training John to steal his place on the road to the Olympics, thus
over-straining their close fraternal bond.
It´s a great inspirational story for those in need of sel-esteem and self-diligence boost.
