Channel Swimmer The Beachcombers : Season 16 Episode 21

Teenager Jordon Cooper has arrived in Gibsons to do some long distance swimming training in the open water in the pursuit of swimming the much more difficult Bay of Fundy. She is in town with her coach father, Derek Cooper, who dictates every aspect of his daughter's life. Jordon used to be a competitive sprinter, but always finishing second or third in races made her father believe that long distances was a winning approach. It is unclear whether Jordon achieving this goal is more her desire, if at all, or her father's, and if the latter if he is using her solely through which to live vicariously. Regardless, they run into a difference in wants as she befriends Graham, Pat and Sara, the former in particular who is attracted to her. As such, she wants to hang out with her new friends rather than train, which is all Derek wants her to do. As such, Derek has a few run ins specifically with Graham and Pat, from who he want Jordon to stay away. But during their stay in Gibsons, both Jordon and Derek may come to the realization that, although setting goals and trying to achieve them to the best of one's abilities are important, other things in life may trump those goals.
