The New Trailer for Swim Drama Barracuda Will Leave You Soaked

A new Australian drama, Barracuda, adapted from the novel of the same name by Christos Tsiolkas, centers around an emerging professional swimmer in the late '90s coming to terms with his homosexuality. And most of the trailer features the gorgeous Elias Anton, who plays said athlete, in the skimpiest of Speedos.

Tsiolkas previously wrote The Slap in 2008, which won the Commonwealth Writer's Prize and was adapted for TV in both Australia and America.

Barracuda is being hailed as the best Australian drama of the year, according to ABC TV. Check out the trailer below, as well as behind-the-scenes footage of Anton prepping for his role.

Barracuda debuted July 10 in Australia.
