She offers tips and strategies for open water swimming. In addition, she is the marketing director of Zealios. Zealios offers an array of products including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, body lotion after the open water or chlorinated pools. They also have chafing creams, sunscreens and more.

In today's podcast, I interview Casey Arendt, the marketing genius behind Snake and Pig, a company that’s changing the game with its super-comfortable goggles and other swim products.

• Can you tell me more about yourself and Snake & Pig?
• Where did Snake & Pig (the name) come from?
• One of the standout features of your goggles is the air-cushion gasket design. Can you tell us more about how it works and why it’s such a game-changer for swimmers?
• You offer multiple styles of goggles, like the Basilisk and Junior Basilisk. Can you walk us through the different options available and who they are best suited for?
• Your goggles come with features like adjustable nose pieces and options for smaller faces. How important is it for swimmers to have a customized fit, and how do your products cater to that?
• Beyond goggles, do Snake and Pig offer other swim-related accessories or products beyond goggles? If so, which ones are must-haves for swimmers?
• When it comes to your target audience, who are you designing these goggles for? Is it mainly triathletes and competitive swimmers, or do you also cater to everyday recreational swimmers?
