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.

Swimrun 101 (redux)

We are the Löw Tide Böyz (Chipper and Chris), a Swimrun team based in Northern California and we're on a mission to help grow the sport of Swimrun in the United States while striving to make it as accessible, inclusive, and diverse as possible. 

On our podcast we share our love for the new-ish sport of Swimrun and interview race directors, athletes, and other cool people in the space all the while chronicling our own training and racing adventures and having as much fun as possible in the process.
