Battling with his own inner demons, Jonathan is taken to an elite swimming academy deep in the English countryside by his soon to be step-mother. At the academy, Jonathan struggles to find his place among the group. He may be a top athlete in his field, but when it comes to the small world of Lakeside, swimming, sex and chauvinism combine to create something explosive and the potential for something very dangerous. This short movie was produced by extracting the story scenes from the adult movie "SwimBoy."

Pool is a melange of documentary and fiction, about its actors’ lives: a 14-year old girl, a Chilean exile, a French actress and an unfulfilled shoestore manager. No plot runs through it, but the characters all move in and out of their roles. When we get too close, we are reminded It’s only a movie. The young girl who appears at the beginning of the film is Ally Sheedy at fourteen. She has since appeared in many feature films including The Breakfast Club and High Art.
