Are you referring to competitive swimming?  If so, here are a few:

The Swimmers - 2022 PG-13 2h 14m - From war-torn Syria to the 2016 Rio Olympics, two young sisters embark on a harrowing journey as refugees, putting both their hearts and champion swimming skills to heroic use.

Touch the Wall - 2014 1h 41m - The story of two women and their journey to the highest stage in swimming - the 2012 London Olympics. The young star, Missy Franklin, is just beginning her career and is saddled with mile-high expectations; the veteran, Kara Lynn Joyce, is trying to rediscover the juice that took her to the previous two Olympics.

Ian Thorpe: The Swimmer - 2012 57m - Ian Thorpe: The Swimmer is a 2012 documentary covering the lead up to the 2012 Summer Olympics, where Ian Thorpe undertook a failed attempt to comeback. The documentary is directed by Gregor Jordan and was produced for the ABC by Finch in association with Matchbox Pictures.

Jaws is a better movie, and covers the same subject matter much more quickly.

The Guardian is the correct answer.

Shark and water monster movies. Teach them they don’t have to out swim the creature, they just have to out swim their friends.

I motivated mine with a $50 reward if they completed a lap at the local Olympic size public pool.

Both collected.

Confidence and competency around water are important, especially in Florida.

As tough as Joe was, he likely would have drowned after a few more laps and a deep enough pool.

No point in waiting for motivation if they need to learn to swim.

Drop them off at swimming lessons with a trained instructor and say they are learning to swim because it's important.

I hated learning to swim, but I'm glad I did.

You're not going to find motivation to swim sitting on the couch.  Get them to the water.

Show a few videos of someone drowning. Tell them "don't be that guy".
There's a few good one's of a rescuer getting drown by drowning person before they themselves drown.
I made sure t tell both my kids to never, ever try to save a drowning person if they are also in the water. No one..
