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.

Has anyone else noticed in that Anti-drug commercial with the relay swimmers, that it is a medley relay (so why are the swimmers up on the blocks ?). How about the old milk commercial with the butterfly swimmer (his last stroke in the commercial from what I have been told he jumped off the bottom of the pool). In regards to the nike commercials - they had the one titled move, where it was a montage of people and sports (starts off with a boy running down the street and continues to do quick cuts to other sports - there are several swimmers, a diver and triathletes used in that commercial - the commercials last few scenes is a diver hitting the water, bubbles, triathletes swimming exiting the water, getting on their bikes and then cutting to the boy from the beginning of the commercial running down the street).
Hey at least the new nike swim suit catalogs are using real swimmers as models for their competition line of suits, for the 'fashion' suits they are using models unlike other swimwear companies.
