An electrifying drama about swimming, ruthless ambition and abuse of power by a new writer for Radio 4. Aspiring Olympian Hannah is excited, if a little intimidated, by the arrival from the States of Ben, her magnetic new coach. But as their relationship becomes increasingly unsettling; so too do his unorthodox methods. The drama asks - how fluid can a definition of victory become before it dissolves completely? Hannah ..... Hannah Tointon Ben ..... Elliot Cowan Luke ..... Tayla Kovacevic-Ebong Andrea .....
