Wonderful! From concept through teamwork to success, just splendid! Congratulations!

Please, please add closed captions. It's a shame that those of us in our 70s with hearing loss (even with aids) must miss out on our heroic peers' commentary.

Good news: the film now has closed captions! Many thanks to Mike Pope (who isn't even a Dolphin Club member!) for his volunteer labor on the project. https://youtu.be/gQHaEwREzBQ?si=ehpi8gDfYlOWqALF

We would have *loved* to add closed captions. But this project was run on 100% volunteer labor, and captioning was beyond our scope. I'm hoping another Dolphin Club volunteer steps up to add that missing and vital component.

What a great story! I used to live close to the Dolphin Club but never went swimming in the Bay! Brave team you are, and congrats on the Channel swim and the movie! Fantastic!!!!

What a wonderfully inspiring, entertaining and fun movie. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Congratulations to the swimmers and the big team of volunteers who in countless ways helped make the film a reality. A special shout out to the editor, Nancy F, for taking her idea and making it happen.

Congrats! Fun film, but I'm not _entirely_ convinced it was a fun swim, participants' endorsements notwithstanding ;)
