SYNOPSIS: From the producers of Baikal Film's top selling Flip Turn, comes their next effort: Swim Meet!  13-year-old Artur Derevyankin is an up and coming swim champion in his native Kiev, Ukraine.  His two friends, Kiril and Yaroslav, both 13 too, are training hard to join the National Team so they can proudly represent their country and compete against dozens of other countries at the Olympics.  During one cold and cloudy January day the Azov Films cameras followed Artur and his friends while they trained for an upcoming Swim Meet!

EDITORIAL REVIEW: Another fine "day in the life of" documentary by the directors of the Baikal Films and Europa Sun product line.  Once again Artur from Flip Turn allows us to take an intimate peek into his Saturday ritual of hard training for future swim competitions.  It's early to rise today (9:30 is early on a Saturday for a 13-year-old boy) and there is much to do.  There's barely enough time to wash before Yaroslav and Kiril drop by to pick up Artur before heading to the C.O.P. (Center of Olympic Training).  Of course boys are easily distracted and on their way to the club Artur, Yaro and Kiril join some younger boys for some spirited sliding down icy hills--thanks to an overnight deep freeze!  Eventually the boys find their way to the club where, under the watchful eyes of their coach, the boys join the rest of the team for their workout.  As tradition has it for young athletes in Ukraine, it is important for them to rest their tired muscles in a hot sauna bath.  Our trio of svelte youths are no exception to the rule and they soon find their way to a popular local sauna.  As the day comes to an end, the boys say goodbye to each other and we close another great AzovFilms production!
