We see a lot of similarities between aquatic athletes in various disciplines.

Whether the athletes is an open water swimmer walking triumphantly onto shore, a pool swimmer hitting the wall with a best time, a diver nailing a dive of high technical difficulty, a water polo player scoring a goal, or a synchronized swimmer scoring well in a competition, they all have a certain innate drive and joyful passion for the water.

Missy Franklin and Kara Lynn Joyce star in Touch The Wall, a look at the camaraderie and competitive aspects of aquatic sports.
