Hey guys, before we start this episode of the Wodcast Podcast, I want to talk to you

about our sponsor. That is New Wave Swim Bowie. That's right. Ever since the

introduction of swimming in the 2011 Cross Fit Games, swimming's become a standard event in the games.

If you don't want to be exiting the water dead fucking last, you want to incorporate swimming

into your weekly training regimen.

But just like weightlifting and gymnastics, swimming takes a lot of practice. weekly training in

swimming takes a lot of practice.

Swimming in the open water is a whole different game.

You're taking punches from other people, running into the water,

and inevitably getting kicked in the face underwater.

Training in open water in race-like conditions is critical for your survival as a competitor.

Saying that you're not a strong swimmer is no longer enough and will not keep you alive when your heart rates

pounding at 95% max. You feel nauseous and disoriented and you can't touch the

bottom or stop to catch your breath. That's when the panic sets in. Yes, panic. Even for me, a lifeguard

and a surfer for over 20 years, swimming in the ocean without my surfboard or kayak support

made me panic. Our sponsor New Wave Swim Bowie designed a

float that provides open water swimmers a personal confidence boosting device

the toes behind you and is within the arm's reach.

New Wave Swim Bowie will give you the mental confidence to push your swim training.

Swimming gives you an edge, no question.

If it's in the Cross-Vit games, it's in my workout. New Wave is easy to inflate, light to carry, no pump is necessary,

New Wave attaches to your waist with the provided belt and trails behind you, and it doesn't interfere.
