More available at Ocean Junction. Good afternoon folks. And welcome to the on-deck show, a show that takes a look at people and organizations operating outside the scope of normal to make things better for folks like you and I; every day today, we have the opportunity to speak with retired doctor Mark Fromberg out of Kelowna. Mark is one of the creators of the Swim Buddy, an open water swim safety product popular amongst open water swimmers in Canada.

He's the author of two books, Swimming in the Open Water and Swimming in the Open Water Volume II both available on Amazon. He's an advocate for open water swimming, and he's passionate about the subject. He believes that everybody should know how to swim and especially know how to swim in the open water.

Seeing as so much of the earth's surface is covered with water today, we're going to dive into some of those topics, and we're just going to let Mark tell us about swimming in the open water and why he loves it so much. We welcome Mark.
