Swim Team follows the Jersey Hammerheads swim team, based in Perth Amboy, New Jersey, founded by parent volunteers Michael and Maria McQuay, and made up entirely of teenagers on the autism spectrum; the team is also largely Latino and Asian. Focusing on three athletes and their struggles in and out of the water, the film explores themes and issues related to their transitions to adulthood, and how their parents cope with raising a child with autism.
