A year ago Ed Moses announced his comeback to the swimming world. Now he is starring in a reality show on the Universal Sports Network. “Against the Tide” will feature Moses as he prepares for next summer’s Olympic trials in Omaha, Neb. The reality show will give you an idea about both his life in and out of the pool.
Moses, 31, now trains at the Trojan Swim Club in Los Angeles with a number of Olympic hopefuls and Olympians. His University of California teammates, Mike Alexandrov, Azad Al-Barazi and Maz Jaben will also be featured on the show.
They, along with Moses, filmed a music video of an original song created to promote the show. The video features Olympian Katie Hoff and has become a hit within the swimming fan community. “It’s a pretty funny video and makes you want to watch the show because you want to see what hilarity they are going to come up with next,” swimming fan, Caroline Reed said.
Moses, a breastoker, swam at the 2000 Sydney Olympics and won a silver medal in the 100 Breaststroke and a gold medal with the 4x100 Medley Relay team. After failing to make the Olympic team in 2004, Moses left the swimming world and started his own production company, Mojo Marketing and Media.
Moses partnered his company with Universal Sports to document his comeback to the swimming world. “Against the Tide” premieres on the Universal Sports on Dec. 14 at 9 p.m. ET. The series will run consecutively for five nights.
