This week, we’re letting you in on one of our biggest game changers in coaching — our bone conduction speaker pucks We talk about how we use this technology with both ourselves and our swimmers to communicate in real time while swimming. From correcting technique and improving form mid-stroke, to offering reassurance, encouragement, and motivation exactly when it’s needed — this has completely transformed how people learn, progress, and connect in the water.But it’s not just about faster or more efficient swimming. It’s about confidence, clarity, and feeling supported while you’re actually in the environment you’re training for.We also dive into some of our recent social media posts around winter swimming, dipping vs swimming, and the conversations they sparked.
