Amy Malone (Paget Brewster) is a middle-aged calculus teacher going through a divorce. Her soon to be ex-husband, Paul, is a fellow co-worker at Old Lyme High School and under the current situation one of them is going to have to quit - and Paul has tenure.
Seeking solace, Amy signs up for a beginner’s adult swim class at her local gym. While over-coming her childhood fears of swimming, she befriends a beautiful, younger woman named Jordan Gallagher (Jess Weixler). As the two women begin their friendship, Jordan’s eye turns to the handsome swim class teacher Noah Owens (Jeff Branson). Noah’s an ex-Olympic hopeful, paying the bills working at the New London Rec Center as an adult trainer and swim teacher. The film becomes a romantic and hopeful story about people seeking happiness and overcoming their fears.
