It has been created to produce video, social, informational and educational content that will be distributed on different USA Swimming platforms to grow its membership and base of fans and also to promote the sport more widely.\u00a0Designed to make the sport of swimming more accessible through additional video offerings, including live event coverage, USA Swimming will also leverage its new Productions unit to provide shoulder programming at major events, athlete profiles, and training and nutrition information for swimmers of all ages and backgrounds through its Playmaker alliance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsing the Playmaker technology will greatly enhance the quality of our webcasts to provide our viewers an interactive and high-quality presentation. We can\u2019t wait to kick this off next week with the Phillips 66 National Championships,\u201d said <strong>Nailah Ellis Timberlake<\/strong>, USA Swimming Productions Manager. \u201cAs we set out to execute our content production strategy of delivering educational and entertaining content to our swimming community, this partnership will allow us to reach our audiences wherever and whenever they have time to view it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe NBC Sports and USA Swimming alliance continues to grow, and this Playmaker Media partnership is the latest example,\u201d said <strong>Eric Black<\/strong>, Senior Vice President &amp; Chief Technology Officer, NBC Sports Digital. \u201cOur digital team has always enjoyed a terrific relationship with USA Swimming, including our collaborative work during last summer\u2019s USA Swimming Olympic Trials that attracted almost a half-million live streaming users.
