A waterlogged version of 'Fatal Attraction' for the teeny-bopper set...a sad, soggy potboiler that wastes the talents of its attractive young leads.

Derivative, predictable and entirely forgettable, the sort of low-expectations genre picture that generally goes directly to video.

Swimfan, like Fatal Attraction, eventually goes overboard with a loony melodramatic denouement in which a high school swimming pool substitutes for a bathtub.
