SwimSwam Editor Note: This could be an interesting and fun opportunity for you or a swimmer you know. Catalogue shoots are work, a professional setting, but they have a relaxed team atmosphere swimmers can appreciate.
DESCRIPTION
Nike Swim seeks youthful swimmers for the Nike Swim Catalogue. For this part of the Nike Swim Catalogue, Nike Swim is looking for fresh, young faces. An ideal candidate will be 21-28, but appear as young as a swimmer in their late teens.

You are NOT eligible if you are a high school swimmer or a college student with NCAA eligibility.
COMPENSATION
This is a paid shoot. Information on fees comes at the next stage if you are candidate Nike Swim contacts. Nike Swim will provide a daily stipend and pay for your flight and hotel. Most of your meals will be “team meals” on set provided by Nike Swim.

– a head shot
– a full body shot in a swim suit
– date of birth
– current location / swim team (for flight purposes)
– practice suit size
– elite racing suit size (If you know it. If you do not, that is okay. Practice suit size is more important)

DETAILS
The catalogue shoot will be roughly 7 days sometime between March 23rd – April 4th. Nike Swim is still scouting locations and nailing down dates. The category you are chosen for will determine which days you will be needed. Nike Swim will have that information by the end of February.
Last day for submissions
Feb 20th, 2015
If NIke truly wants to be part of the swimming world, they should consider funding men’s and women’s swimming at the University of Oregon. Until then I would not consider buying swim gear from them.
Have people heard back yet?
Did the submission date change? I could’ve sworn it originally said submissions are due by the 25th? 🙁
I agree I believe that it originally said the 25th
can we expect to hear back even if we dont get it?
When should we expect to hear back about the results? If we are not selected, will we still be notified?
Can a middle school swimmer who swims for ymca apply? The child would not join the high school swim team till Nov 2015?
Hema – they would be risking all future high school and college eligibility, plus typically working with anyone of that age brings in very demanding laws and regulations about child labor that would probably make them a less-than-ideal candidate. I would suggest not.
Awesome! I’m a senior college swimmer and my eligibility will be up next week when our season ends. Definitely applying for this!!! I love Nike suits (our team is sponsored by Nike)
What about our canadian kids?
