Applications close today!
A swimmer in open water.
If you're willing to brave the cold water, you can actually get paid $600 a day for it.
A casting call in Vancouver is looking for people who are comfortable swimming in the cold sea to film a commercial. No acting experience is required — just some serious bravery.
The casting call was posted to Facebook and said that it will also pay the swimmer a $4,125 one-year buyout on top of the $600 per day.
The shoot dates are on March 3 and March 4, so you'd have to be available for filming then.
The casting agency is looking for both men and women 50 years and older to be in the commercial. There is no information on what the commercial is for — only that you would be doing some cold open-water swimming in the Lower Mainland.
The casting call says to email kkstreetcasting@gmail.com to apply.
In the email, you have to include you name, a photo of yourself and a few sentences about your experience with cold-water or open-sea swimming.
Hopefully you've been practicing cold plunges this year and are used to the chilly ocean waves. If not, you'll be in for a serious shock jumping into the Pacific Ocean, especially toward the end of winter.
In order to apply, you need to send in your submission by today, February 28, at 6 p.m. — so apply quickly if you think you're a fit!
