New Jersey high school senior Ben Cronin is a former juvenile delinquent, whose past criminal behavior was fueled by and for drug use. He credits the support of his now long time girlfriend Amy Miller and getting into competitive swimming as the primary reasons for turning his life around, which includes working part-time at the hospital where his single mother works. He has become the star swimmer of his high school team, so much so that scouts from Stanford University are coming in a week's time to watch Ben swim. Ben has a new swim fan in Madison Bell, a recent transfer student to Ben's high school. Despite Ben making it clear that he is in a committed relationship, Madison seduces him, the seduction to which he succumbs. They agree afterward that their encounter was a one-time only event, but Ben slowly comes to the realization that despite Madison's assertions to the contrary, she has more in mind with him. He feels her constant unspoken threats to expose their tryst and ultimately when he rebuffs her totally, unspoken threats to ruin his life in whatever means possible. Ben quickly learns to what extremes Madison is willing to go, especially when he finds out about her past. He has to figure out how to regain his life back from his known stalker, which is aided by the reason Madison is in New Jersey in the first place.

| Apollo GuideBrian WebsterStarts out mediocre, spirals downward, and thuds to the bottom of the pool with an utterly incompetent conclusion. |
| New York PostJonathan ForemanAbout two-thirds of the way through, a stupid, hyperbolic sensibility takes control of the project, running it screaming off the rails. |
| The Coast (Halifax, Nova Scotia)Mark PalermoAside from having the most abrupt and awkward ending of any movie I can think of, the basic key to Swimfan's incoherence lies in the incomprehensible actions of its two main characters. |
| Matt's Movie ReviewsMatt EasterbrookHell hath no fury like a woman scorned ... |
| Dallas Morning NewsGary DowellIt's a cheap thriller without the cheap thrills. |
| Bangor Daily News (Maine)Christopher Smith...it's sometimes difficult to know whether to admire "Swimfan" for being such a tidy little mimic that admittedly has its moments or to hate it for its utter lack of ingenuity and creativity. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanProof that a thriller can be sleekly shot, expertly cast, paced with crisp professionalism...and still be a letdown if its twists and turns hold no more surprise than yesterday's weather report. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaSeguindo o tom juvenil (no sentido pejorativo da palavra) do roteiro, podemos descrever este filme com uma regra de três simples: Fixação está para Atração Fatal assim como Erika Christensen está para Glenn Close. |
| CitysearchMichael PhillipsWithout delivering chills or suspense, it reiterates the old message that cheating is fine, unless you happen to choose a psycho. |
| Globe and MailLiam LaceyWith his heavy features and grimacing shyness, Dante provides the best entertainment in Swimfan. |
