Trivia
In the movie, Tony competes in the 100-meter backstroke, winning a silver medal at the Empire Games in 1962. In 1962, the Empire Games swimming events were measured in yards, and Tony won silver behind another Australian in the 220-yard event. When he is later told that "your event was today" in reference to the 1964 Olympics, it refers to the 200-meter backstroke - the 100 wasn't contested in Tokyo.

Quotes
Harold Fingleton: [in a drunken stupor, to Tony] When I was your age, I was tougher.

Tony Fingleton: [narrating] It's funny how the stumbling blocks of life can help make us better people. I never had the support of my father, but in the end that's what gave me the strength to seek something more than I could've ever imagined. Something in another world.

Tony Fingleton: [struggling to connect with his dad prior to leaving Australia for Harvard College in the United States] Do you remember the first time you took me to the pool, Dad? Put me in the water?
