0:00.0 | The 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. |
0:06.8 | And I was skeptical about this because I was like, I'm a confident swimmer. |
0:10.8 | 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. |
0:20.4 | The secondary perk to this is that your partner feels more confident with you in the open water |
0:25.1 | because of this buoy because I've been worried about boats hitting you and other such things. |

1:17.3 | So I could put your find my phone on your iPhone on and actually track you to make sure |
1:21.6 | you're still moving through the water. |
1:22.8 | You're just that obsessed with me. |
