Show Notes
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.

Welcome to episode 355 of the **Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!** The mailbag is back! We get questions in our DMs, in our inbox, and in person at races, and when the same ones keep coming up, it's time for another round of our Swimrun 101 series. We answer these with 30-plus swimruns under our belts since 2018, and our advice is always the same: start where we recommend, then find your own way from there.
Welcome to episode 354 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! We sit down for another fika with Coach Liz, a swimrun coach who works with swimrunners and returned to the ÖTILLÖ Swimrun World Championship this year with her partner Jacob. We shared a good stretch of the course with them in Sweden, so we start with a race report from their second time racing it, including a faster finish than last time and what it took to get there with a toddler at home.
Welcome to episode 353 of the **Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!** We have another race report for you, and this one is a first. Chris just did his first ever solo swimrun at Swimrun Cape Cod, and we sit down a day and a half after he gets home to talk about it. Chris has never been shy about giving solo categories a hard time, so we get into whether that still holds.
Welcome to episode 352 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! The 2026 One Water Race is done, and we have been wanting to talk about it since the live stream ended. We obsess over this race, have zero interest in racing it, and love watching it unfold. Joining us is Chris Wright of Team USA France, who raced the inaugural edition in 2022 and finished this year on his third start, touching the Landsort lighthouse at 2:30 in the morning with the whole One Water crew still cheering.
Welcome to episode 351 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! This week we pull another gem from the vault for our Throwback Mixtape series, rolling back to Ep 240, "Taking on Big Challenges w/Susie Moonan," recorded about a year ago on the eve of her One Water Race, one of the longest and toughest swimrun-style adventure races in the world. Coming off ÖTILLÖ this conversation felt like the right one to bring back, whether ÖTILLÖ is your someday goal or you are staring down your own big challenge right now.
