that summer! (1979)

"I've got nothing else to do."
Steve (Ray Winston) is a bad boy gone good, who discovers a talent for swimming, and heads to Torquay to try and win the 'Round the Bay' race. There he meets a couple of nice northern birds (Julie Shipley & Emily Moore), and some disreputable Scots lads...
Comes across as a post-teen Children's Film Foundation film, whose simplistic plot can be written on the back of a fag packet! But never the less, all acquit themselves adequately and we get to cheer the hero at the end as he overcomes adversity and gets the girl.
