Summary
Pathe synopsis: The water-babies who line up at the pool of a Clacton holiday camp [Butlin’s] are about to present something a little different in teenage talent. They’re members of a north London club which specialises in synchronised swimming, an American-inspired sport that’s more like water-ballet. It’s judged on grace and interpretation and earns star appreciation from the poolside spectators.
