Web TV coverage of three major swimming events leading up to and setting the stage for the 2008 Olympic Games, made possible by a partnership between FINIS, Inc. and Swimming World Magazine.
Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) July 29, 2006
Swimming World Magazine’s (www. SwimmingWorldMagazine. com) sister media site, SwimmingWorld. TV, will be providing free video technique and news clips during the month of August thanks to a generous sponsorship agreement with FINIS, Inc. (www. FinisInc. com)
“FINIS has always been on the cutting edge of producing new products for swimmers of all abilities. By supporting SwimmingWorld. TV, millions of viewers who embrace the sport of swimming can enjoy coverage otherwise only seen during the Olympics. The significance of these swim meets sets a stage for perhaps our next Gold Medal Olympic Athletes whom we might see in Beijing in 2008. SwimmingWorld. TV’s digital media reaches out to swimmers and general health enthusiasts which is ever important with youth and baby boomers alike. For those of us who love swimming for sport or fitness, www. swimmingworldmagazine. com is my personal home page and the source for daily news on our sport so it was a perfect sponsorship.” said John Mix, President of FINIS, Inc., a California based company.
The entire swimming community will be able to view SwimmingWorld. TV throughout August as reports come in from the ConocoPhillips USA National Championships and the Speedo Junior Championships taking place in Southern California, August 1-11.
The importance of these meets is the selection process which determines who will be representing their country in the upcoming selected meets:
2006 Mutual of Omaha Pan Pacific Championships (Aug. 17-21, Victoria, British Columbia)
2007 FINA World Championships (March 25-April 1, Melbourne, Australia)
2007 World University Games (Aug. 8-13, Bangkok, Thailand)
2007 Pan American Games (July 14-21, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
SwimmingWorld. TV also will provide coverage of the FINA Masters World Championships taking place at Stanford University, Stanford, Calif., August 4-11.
“With over a half-million viewers coming to our site each week for the daily news, it is only natural that those same people also will want to watch the news sponsored by FINIS on SwimmingWorld. TV. We will be covering these events as news stories and not as live events due to broadcast rights. Video links will be embedded into many of the stories that we broadcast,” commented Brent Rutemiller, CEO of Sports Publications International, publisher of Swimming World Magazine, SwimmingWorldMagazine. com and SwimmingWorld. TV.
