violence
A woman expresses the wish that she had violently killed a paedophile by "cutting off his dick and letting him bleed to death". During a flashback, a man is seen shouting at his wife aggressively whilst their young daughter watches.
threat and horror
There are scenes of moderate threat stemming from a woman's attempt to swim in dangerous open waters, including a fierce jellyfish attack, sight of a shark racing towards her and other intense moments in which she struggles to survive during raging storms. In one sequence, she is resuscitated after nearly drowning.
language
Infrequent use of strong language ('f**k') is accompanied by milder terms such as 'bitch', 'piss', 'dick', 'crap', 'bloody', 'shit', 'ass', 'asshole', 'Christ' and 'hell'.
sex
There is a brief mild sex reference in which a man compares a gulfstream to a 'raging dick'.
discrimination
Brief references are made to ageism and sexism from corporate sponsors and the media. These attitudes are clearly challenged throughout.
drugs
A woman tells her friend to "go and smoke a joint" in order to calm down.
sexual violence and sexual threat
A teenage girl is groomed and sexually abused by her swimming coach. Flashback scenes see him enter her room whilst she is sleeping and rape her, although much of the detail is offscreen. References are made to him grooming and abusing other teenage girls and a distressed victim blames herself for the abuse.
injury detail
Facial and body sores as well as cuts and bruises are evident on a woman in the aftermath of her treacherous open swimming endeavours. She vomits after experiencing sickness during the swims.
nudity
There is brief natural buttock nudity.
rude humour
Children comically ask a swimmer where she goes to the toilet during her long distance swims.
theme
There are references to a man suffering from cancer.
flashing/flickering lights
