Welcome to episode 326 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! The Countdown to Ötillö series is back. With five months to go until the 20th anniversary of the Swimrun World Championship, we are kicking off a monthly series tracking our build all the way to September. This one is packed.

Welcome to episode 325 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! We’ve got a great show for everyone this week! We’re going back into the vault for our Throwback Mixtape series with a conversation from 2020 with the one and only Erika Rosenbaum. Not only is she an amazing Swimrunner, she launched the “short course” Swimrun movement, and if that wasn’t enough, she literally coined the name “Swimrun” and then gave it away to help grow the sport. She’s a legend and we’re excited to re-share our conversation with her.

Welcome to episode 324 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! Get your note pads out for this one! Our friend and race director Brent Molsberry is on the show this week to share a course preview for the 2026 edition of ÖTILLÖ Orcas Island. This show is a must listen/watch for anyone racing the event, whether it’s your first Swimrun or your thirty-third. We discuss how to get to Orcas Island, share a leg by leg breakdown for each race distance, and give some training and gear recommendations. This show is guaranteed to get you super stoked for Orcas Island!

Welcome to episode 323 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! Joining us this week is pro triathlete (and Swimrunner) Eric Lagerstrom. He made his Swimrun debut last year at ÖTILLÖ USA Orcas Island and kicked off their “charity chaser” fundraiser with Eric starting 15 minutes after the start of the World Series distance began. Check out the show to find out how it turned out, what he thinks the future holds for Swimrun, and so much more.

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.

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.

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!

Welcome to episode 318 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! We’ve reached February and that means that it’s time for our 5th Annual Partners Month!!! We aren’t shy about saying that one of our favorite things about Swimrun is the partner aspect and we’re stoked to kick off this year’s Partners Month with Allison and Brooke, A.K.A., Team Girlz Just Wånna Häve Buoyz. Get ready for a great conversation where their enthusiasm for Swimrun is infectious. We can’t think of a better way to get the month started! 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.
