Sydney holds a strong identity as the capital of sandy shores, ripper waves and the finest swimmers in the world. But this idealistic depiction of a devoted swimming culture doesn’t connect to many locals like Angelica who has never learned how to swim.
Come and join Angelica on her personal quest to overcome the deep blue waters. Along the way, she talks with her local community of Blacktown. A part of Sydney that lacks the postcard beaches whilst the limited swimming spots fail to meet the growing demand.
