Too much plot summary[edit]

I think that the article as it currently stands has too much plot summary and not enough analysis. More could be said about the similarities and differences with the filmed version. Bc.rox.all (talk) 01:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation[edit]

How do we change the title of this page? Needs disambiguation vs the poem "The Swimmer" and the song based on the poem in Elgar's Sea Pictures. CecilWard (talk) 09:10, 17 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's the story with the Mad Men links at the bottom? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.120.9.247 (talk) 02:02, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Image related to story?[edit]

Has anyone considered looking for images that would be relevant to the short story? Maybe the cover of the book that the short story appears in or even the title page? --Sara Kathryn (talk) 02:20, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
