Audition: Aviva @ Francene Selkirk-Ackerman

This spot involves swimming in open water - exciting. They asked us to rate our swimming abilities on a scale of 1-4. I hate these kinds of ratings. I'm a good swimmer, no racing. I don't do laps all the time and I don't swim often, but I can swim. Is "4" Olympic quality? I mean, it IS the top rating, so I wouldn't think you could find a better swimmer than a "4". Is a "3" someone who couldn't compete in the Olympics but did swim on their high school team? Is "2" someone who can swim across the short side of a pool, but not without a break in the middle? Is "1" someone who requires swimmies? I overthink these things and that's why I hate them. I put 3.5, which is a cop out, maybe, but at least says I don't think I'm the greatest swimmer you'll see but I won't drown on your shoot.
