  • We’re back with a new Sports Swap 🔁 where the sand’s the same, but the game has changed! 🏖️   Our Men’s Long Jumpers took on Women’s Beach Volleyball to see if jumping for distance helps when you’re jumping for the spike. Can they stay above the sand, or will they be digging themselves out?   Check out the full video on our YouTube!
