During the NBC taped broadcast of the summer nationals in Indianapolis on July 11 and 12 (apparently not the Universal Sports live broadcast though), about 25 Masters swimmers from Southern California will be in 12 commercials for USA Swimming during the broadcast.
We will be in suits and caps and goggles and sometimes in business attire and goggles.......but NO water. The spots were shot at the NBC/Universal offices on Saturday June 27. You will see Masters swimmers flying out of the elevator, doing breastroke down the hallway, shaving down for the "Big Meet", and other fun and silly stuff. For the eight second part of my fifteen minutes of fame, I got to be the "coach" of the hallway breastrokers!!
We all had fun doing the spots. Hope you enjoy watching them!:applaud:

Anybody have a link to the commercials online? I've been looking all over trying to find them. I missed them yesterday because I was at the meet in Santa Barbara too. But I did catch one of them today on tv, very cool!
They only showed that guy for a couple of seconds.
Strange, you'd think I would remember something like being in a commercial. Did they get my good side?
Please do post a link to those commercials, I absolutely loved those! I was Goggling this a.m. to try to find a link to post on our club's site. That is very cool that some of you were in them! Diann in Carbondale, IL
The joint venture between USA Swimming and Wasserman Media Group to host Swimnetwork.com ended in January of 2011. I believe the site remained up until mid-April 2011. Content was to be migrated to USASwimming.org.
