Hey everybody I'm about to start this episode of the Wodcast

podcast with your host Eddie F. I'm talking about him in third person because he's

here right now. He's sitting right where I am because that's me. I am your

host and I'm about to start this episode. Before I do I'm going to talk to you about the

new wave swim buoy. What did I just say? New Wave Swim Bowie? Do you even know how to spell Bowie?

Well I do, it's B-U-O-Y. That's right. And they're our sponsor for today's show.

Because ever since the introduction of the swimming in the 2011 cross fit

game swimming has 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.

That's right, but just like when you're lifting in gymnastics, 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,

disoriented, and you can't touch the bottom or stop but catch your breath

that's when the panic sets in yes panic even for me I'm in a lifeguard and a

surfer for over 20 years swimming in the ocean without my surfboard or a kayak support made me panic. So what did I do?

I reached out the new wave swim buoy. They've designed a float that provides open water

swimmers of personal confidence boosting device, the toes behind you and is within arm's reach.

New Wave Swim Bulli will give you the mental confidence to push your swimming training.

Swimming gives you an edge. No question, if it in the Cross Fit Games it should be in your workout because it's in mind.

New Wave is easy to inflate light to carry, no pumps necessary. New Wave attaches to your waist with the provided belt and trails behind you doesn't interfere.
