Tower Of Power
When we see a tower or scaffolding or cranes on a beach sporting or supporting television cameras, we know that the sport of open water swimming is truly beginning to enter the realm of the sporting fan’s mind.The average sports fan may not know about or follow the sport of open water swimming, but exposure to these finely trained and skilled athletes is becoming more available.
Online media is certainly helpful, newspaper and magazine coverage is certainly valuable, online videos are certainly accessible, but there is nothing like live or tape-delayed television coverage to help promote the sport and its swimmers to the general public.
