0:00.0 | The first company that today's podcast is brought to you by is new wave swim boy, which is |
0:04.3 | 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 |
0:17.9 | in the open swim that I did the other day. |
0:20.1 | The secondary perk to this is that your partner feels more confident with you in the open |
0:24.7 | water because of this buoy because I've been worried about boats hitting you and other such |

1:09.9 | phone which are with you when you're in the water because you can actually place to store your keys and your phone, which are with you |
1:11.4 | when you're in the water because you can actually put them inside this buoy and they stay dry and |
