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.

Yeah, the cholesterol commercial is a hoot. Matt, didja see that the guy also does a nice belly-flop into the pool? But then, notice the women ogling the man before he gets into the pool. They aren't there, obviously, to judge his stroke.
On the humorous side, there's the commerical about the Dad who tries and tries to get his son into some type of sports. (Pardon me if I am in the Department of Redundancy in Redundancy.) There are several scenes where the kid is abysmal in sports. In football, he gets bowled over, just standing there. In baseball, the ball whizzes past him about 5 minutes before he swings at it. In swimming, it shows the kid on a starting block waiting for something to happen after the rest have long departed. (Maybe that sounds like some of us. :D )
On the serious side, don't forget the Olympic dreams-type commercial Speedo has produced. I think you can still view it by clicking here. Now, this one's, IMHO, a keeper, especially with the CLASSICAL music in the background. :rolleyes:
'Nuff out of me.
