A supermodel’s lithe, bikini-clad body is a terrible thing to waste.

Fortunately, Victoria’s Secret refused to let that happen — which is why the company sent a TV crew to Puerto Rico to capture the irresistible moments between catalog photo shoots and TV commercials. And the result is “The Victoria’s Secret Swim Special.”

Finally, instead of limiting models in skimpy swimsuits to the printed page, the lingerie giant will bring those pages to life in an hour-long fever dream of lush tropical vistas and flesh.

“We have such a great time, it doesn’t feel like work,” said 26-year-old Swedish beauty Elsa Hosk. “I get to hang out in bikinis. It's a dream.”

To break out of the formulaic hot-girl-on-a-beach genre, Executive Producer Ed Razek will incorporate performances from Maroon 5 and the Colombian rock star Juanes. The special also aims to focus on the landscapes — and the perilous predicaments the models were thrown into in pursuit of that perfect photo. In one scene, Hosk and some other models are taken into an oceanside cave. It was a race against Mother Nature to get all the shots in before the tide rolled in and the cave was submerged.

“We kept getting trapped in the cave, but we had to get the shot!” recalls Hosk. “We were all getting hit in the face by waves and had to jump when waves came.”

Some of that action will be captured in print, some will appear in TV ads, and some will be part of a “behind-the-scenes” reel. And still other parts will comprise “The Victoria’s Secret Swim Special.” Waste not, want not. At one point, Razek says, the company had nine camera crews going simultaneously, making the days in Puerto Rico more intense than the average Victoria’s Secret shoot.

“The cameras are hearing everything you say and seeing everything you do, so you always have to be ‘on,’ ” says Jasmine Tookes, a 24-year-old Angel from California.

But a TV special also allows for a far deeper and more meaningful look into the personality and lives of these Angels — some of the most-photographed women in the world.

“Yes, it’s the most beautiful women in the world in stunning locations in great swimwear,” says Razek. “But we really get into the individual stories of some of these girls that viewers may not know. It’s an intimate portrait that is also really funny.”

“The Victoria’s Secret Swim Special” airs Thursday at 10 p.m. on CBS.
