| 0:00.0 | First company that today's podcast is brought to you by is new wave swim boy, which is great for new swimmers to feel more confident. |
| 0:06.7 | And I was skeptical about this because I was like, I'm a confident swimmer. |
| 0:10.7 | I don't need no new wave swim boy, but actually avoided a lot of boats coming really close to me in the open swim that I did the other day. |
| 0:20.0 | The secondary perk to this is that your partner feels more confident with you in the open water |
| 0:25.0 | because of this buoy because I've been worried about boats hitting you and other such things. |
| 0:28.9 | I have been worried about that too over the last couple weeks for whatever reason it was. |
| 0:33.0 | There were a couple boats and rowers that were getting really, really close and a couple times |
| 0:36.7 | they stopped and said, |
| 0:38.0 | you know, we really can't see you until we're like basically on top of you. So New Wave Swim Boy, |
| 0:43.3 | they sent out a couple of units. I tried them out just three days ago. And instantly, boats were a |
| 0:49.6 | long way away. And then I went up on shore and I asked somebody on shore that was watching if |
| 0:53.7 | they could see me. And they said that they could see me as far out as I went, which at one point was a |
| 0:58.8 | full kilometer. So that was kind of the clincher. I was like, all right, New Wave Swim Boy, let's do some |
| 1:04.8 | stuff. I like that you're safe and I also like that you have a place to store your keys and your phone, which are with you when |
| 1:11.4 | you're in the water because you can actually put them inside this buoy and they stay dry and safe |
| 1:15.8 | and like travel along with you. So I could put your find my phone on your iPhone on and actually |
| 1:20.6 | track you to make sure you're still moving through the water. You're just that obsessed with me. |
| 1:24.5 | Well, I just don't want you to sink to the bottom. Well, stop. So we have set up a |
| 1:30.6 | program with New Wave Swim Boy that all local Amazons in Europe, in Canada, in the United States, |
| 1:36.8 | there is a 10% off coupon code where you can get your own New Wave Swim Boy. You can get either size. |
| 1:42.9 | They're over 190 pound 20 liter size. they're over 190 pound 20 liter size or |
| 1:45.5 | under 190 pound 15 liter size or if you want zero drag whatsoever i've tested this and it's |
