A Masters swim meet, a free demo, and why I still get butterflies before a race.  ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌

RACE WEEK It's shave and taper time — and Dual Boards training will represent. Hi everyone, I'll be honest with you — there's a specific kind of nervous energy that only race week brings. The taper is on. The shave is coming. And no matter how many times you've stood on that block, you still feel it. This weekend I'm competing at a Masters Swim Meet at Somerset Hills YMCA in Basking Ridge, NJ. Six events over two days.  Here's what's on my schedule:   1650 Free Saturday · 66 lengths 400 IM Sunday · all four strokes, four lengths each 200 Back Sunday 200 IM Sunday 100 Back Sunday 100 Free Sunday   Masters swimming is something I'd recommend to any competitive swimmer who thinks their racing days are behind them. They're not. The water doesn't care how old you are — it just asks if you're willing to show up.   But before the meet, something I'm equally excited about: tomorrow afternoon, a local swim program reached out and asked if I'd come demo Dual Boards with their athletes. For free. No pitch, no pressure — just put the product in the water and let it speak for itself.   That's always been my belief about Dual Boards: when a swimmer tries it, the Boards do the selling. I'm just there to watch.   I'll share how it goes on social — and I'll be back next week with results from the meet. Until then, if you've been curious about what Dual Boards actually look like in the water, here's your chance to see it. 👉 “Watch the Demo” Thanks for being on this list. It means more than you know. - Jose  Founder - Rip Current Sports Follow along: Click Images Below for our Instagram 11160 Viers Mill Rd. Ste Llh-18 #172 Wheaton, MD 20902, United States
