Is any one else bugged with the quality of swimming shown in commercials. It is very rare to see any one who is at all smooth in the water. It especially bugs me in health club ads as they are showing what people are striving for & the swimmers are flailers.(There is a lite beer ad where a man & a women are racing & they are clearly swimmers) Surely there must be some actors who really swim.
YES! It does drive me crazy! There is a commercial for a birth control patch that shows a woman "swimming" with TERRIBLE form. Her head is soo high her eyes are almost out of the water, her feet are sinking and her hand is going in the water right in front of her face. With that kind of stroke, she probably couldn't swim too far! It is sooo irritating to me. Why don't they hire real swimmers. It would be much more believeable. On a positive note...there is a great Nike commercial that shows a masters runner. We need to write Nike and tell them to do an ad with a masters swimmer modeling their suit! :)
