Swimming is a 2000 coming-of-age drama film directed by Robert J. Siegel and starring Lauren Ambrose, Jennifer Dundas, and Joelle Carter.

Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times praised the film, writing Ambrose is "an actress whose face projects that woman's doubts and yearning.

"[7] He added, "Swimming could unfold as a sitcom, or as a desperately sincere drama, but director Robert J. Siegel and his co-writers, Liza Bazadona and Grace Woodard, go for something more delicate and subtle.

They use Ambrose's ability to watch and think and not commit, and they allow the summer's choices and possibilities to unfold within her as if her sexuality is awakening for the first time.

"[7] Ed Gonzales of Slant Magazine wrote the film "is that rare coming-of-age tale that doesn’t scream Afterschool Special.
