A complement to his triathlon training, the H2X Challenger swim spa is a place where Hoffman can log an extra workout or get the recovery he needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are thrilled to be a part of Ben&#8217;s journey on his road to Kona,&#8221; says Kevin Richards, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Master Spas. &#8220;Ben&#8217;s passion for the sport and training is evident, and we&#8217;re excited to share his story in this new video.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.h2xswimspa.com\/swim-spas\/challenger-series\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Challenger series<\/a> from Master Spas bridges the gap between traditional jetted swim spas and propulsion systems. The unique airless jet system creates a water current that is more efficient, powerful, and smoother than the competition. With the ability to control the resistance and temperature, novice swimmers to competitive triathletes can enjoy a continuous swimming experience that mimics open water. That&#8217;s why swim spas from Master Spas are the official swim spa of the IRONMAN\u00ae World Championship.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>About MasterSpas<\/h2>\nMasterSpas is based in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
