SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Summary Young Woman and the Sea is based on the true story of Gertrude “Trudy” Ederle, and while it maintains the heart of what happened in reality, there are things the film leaves out and changes. Directed by Joachim Rønning and starring Daisy Ridley as Trudy Ederle, the biopic is based on the book by Glenn Stout and follows Trudy from the moment she overcomes measles to her triumphant swim across the English Channel in 1926.
Trudy changing her bathing suit style was a big deal in 1926, when women typically did not wear two-piece swimsuits. They also wore shoes to swim. The fact that Trudy didn’t care if it was considered scandalous to wear a two-piece suit that wasn’t suffocating her or slowing her down in the water was an amazing thing back then. It showed that her ideology wasn’t so old-fashioned, and her swimsuit choice was just as liberating as her decision to swim across the English Channel.
8 Bill Burgess Trained Trudy Ederle Only After She Returned To France Young Woman and the Sea depicts Trudy pretty much firing Jabez Wolffe from being her swim coach and agreeing to work with Bill Burgess, himself a successful Channel swimmer-turned-coach, on the condition that he wouldn’t pull her from the water no matter what.
The promise of a new vehicle helped motivate Trudy during her swim across the Channel. True to his word, Henry got his daughter the roadster following her triumphant swim to the shores of England, and she was presented with the car upon her return to New York. In the film, Henry is a man of few words and upholds tradition, but when it came to Trudy’s second attempt to swim the Channel, he was there for her. The promise of a new car to help push Trudy all the way didn’t hurt, either.
To be sure, Trudy’s first attempt to swim the Channel didn’t go the way she wanted, and there’s a reason she ended up hiring Bill Burgess in place of Wolffe. Whether it was the tides or not, Ederle herself believed Wolffe put something in her tea and that is what Young Woman and the Sea went with, likely because it was from Trudy’s perspective of how things happened.
