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.

"For Christmas I got Season one of "Felicity" on DVD, a drama about college. One of the characters, Ben, tries out for the swim team, and in order to make the team he has to do a 100 free under :55. (He makes it.) He looks okay in the water but he breathes every stroke! Tsk Tsk."
Just a comment but first...I used to watch Felicity alot when it was on tv..I dont think I ever remember that episode. My question is this: what's wrong with breathing every stroke? I do depending how tired I am and how hard my workout is, but I usually breath at least 3 times (in a 25 meter pool).
