Ben Cronin (Jesse Bradford) has everything going for him: he is the school’s star swimmer, he has just earned a swimming scholarship to Stanford, and he has a beautiful girlfriend, Amy (Roswell’s Shiri Appleby). One slip-up with Madison, the new girl in town, sends his life into a downward spiral. In the same vein as Fatal Attraction, Swimfan is a cautionary tale about deadly obsession.
