Welcome to episode 322 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

We’ve got our first race report of the year this week! Chipper and his wife Kristen raced HYROX Las Vegas as a team a few weekends ago and they are here to share all the sights (six-pack abs), sounds (DJ music all day), and spectacle (it’s Vegas) of the exercise craze that’s taken the fitness world by storm. Spoiler alert: they had a great race!

Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 321 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

We’re back this week with our second installment in our new series: Throwback Mixtape. In this episode we go all the way back to 2020 to re-share our conversation with Amber and Erin A.K.A., Team Better Tethered Together. Now six years later, this is still one of the most fun conversations we’ve recorded for the show. We interviewed them on the eve of Catalina 2020 and we can’t think of a better throwback to wrap up this year’s Partners Month. 

WARNING: there is an uncommon amount of poop/real talk in this episode. 

Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 320 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

Partners Month continues this week! Joining us on the podcast is mixed team Sarah and Hugh, A.K.A., Team Party Pace. (An all-time great team name!)  These teammates from afar have put together some impressive performances including competing in last year’s ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship. In this conversation we covered how they met, how they work together, and shared a mini-race report from their journey across the Archipelago. 

If that wasn’t enough we are also joined by our Super Intern in Charge of Special Projects, Dave Dammer, to talk about the global slate of Swimrun events for 2026.

Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 313 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

Our 5th annual Partners Month continues this week with a great show for everyone! Joining us from The Green Mountain State (Vermont) is Team Wild VerMamas, A.K.A., Amanda and Fiona. This team has burst onto the Swimrun scene with some impressive ÖTILLÖ wins in the women’s category as well as inclusion in the inaugural ÖTILLÖ Elite program for 2026. If that wasn’t enough they are also collaborating with Wild Swimrun to get more women and girls into the sport. If it wasn’t obvious, they've passed the Swimrun vibe check with flying colors!

Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 317 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

We’ve got something new (sort of) for everyone this week! We’re kicking off our new monthly series, called Throwback Mixtape, where we share some of our favorite conversations from our 6+ years of podcasting. We’re kicking things off with a conversation from all the way back May 28, 2020 (Episode 21) with Annie Molsberry and Brooke Lindsley, A.K.A., The Swimrun Labs. This episode was the beginning for a friendship that we are forever grateful for as well as the progenitor of our Gear Talk podcast all about Swimrun gear. This one gave us all the feels and we’re stoked to introduce (or re-introduce) you to two of our favorite people.

Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 316 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

On this week’s show we enter the “way back machine” to revisit our original Swimrun 101 episode. (Episode 2 for anyone that’s counting) This is one of our most downloaded episodes to date and we thought that it was a good time to revisit it now that we have six more years of Swimrunning under our belt. This show is for those that are new to the sport and seasoned Swimrunners alike.

Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 315 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

We’ve got a great one for everyone this week. Joining us to celebrate the 10th edition of the Casco Bay Swimrun and share the oral history of the event is our friend and race director Lars Finanger. In this conversation we look back to the start of the Swimrun movement in the United States, how the race has evolved over the years, as well as look forward to the 2026 ÖTILLÖ USA Swimrun slate of events. If this episode doesn’t get you stoked for the upcoming race season, maybe turn the volume up a bit. 

Enjoy!

Welcome to episode 314 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

Our annual show kickoff is still going strong with this week’s guest. Joining us to talk about Swimrun, surfing, podcasting, and writing is pro surfer and author Kyle Thiermann. We talk about his first Swimrun experience at ÖTILLÖ Catalina in 2025, what it’s like to be a pro surfer, and discuss his new book, One Last Question Before You Go: Why You Should Interview Your Parents. Kyle is a true renaissance man and it was great to have him on the show.

Welcome to episode 313 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!

It’s our first show of 2026 and as per tradition, we are kicking off the year with a banger of an episode. Joining us in ringing in the new (Swimrun) year are the reigning ÖTILLÖ World Champions Arnaud de Lustrac and Jérôme Gueguen, A.K.A., Team The Kebab League. This was an awesome conversation about their friendship, training, racing, and so much more. Not only are they stud athletes but Arnaud and Jérôme’s love for Swimrun is as obvious as it is infectious and it is impossible not to root for them after listening/watching this conversation.

Enjoy!
