Details:

We will be doing a pick-up shoot on May 25th and are looking for actors/extras who are strong swimmers.

The series is a drama-documentary about specialised fighting forces in history and the episode in question is about the Batavians - a mercenary band who fought for the Romans. We need to shoot a sequence showing them swimming across a river and well as some close up shots to go into a combat sequence we've filmed already. For this sequence, we need to find six strong swimmers who could portray the Batavian soldiers.

Applicants must be available on 25th May (as this shoot date is set), comfortable with swimming in open water and the shoot will be at a lake in Berkshire (near Reading).

There is no dialogue for this shoot, so language and accent do not matter. As this is a Roman re-enactment scene (specifically for the Batavians), we're looking for Northern European people to cast, of athletic build and ideally men who look like they are in their 20s.

The swimming sequences will be in a lake, so must be comfortable with open-water swimming. Ideally it would be if you could provide your own fitted swimming shorts, so you wear what you're used to swimming in and will be comfortable in. There is no nudity, but we may cover up the swimming shorts with a loin cloth so from above the water line there is the appearance that the Romans are swimming naked.

For the combat close ups, we'll supply costume and props - so must be willing to wield prop weapons and shields.
