Welcome to episode 192 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! In this episode, we will be sharing our race report for the 2023 ÖTILLÖ, The Swimrun World Championship.

In this episode we (finally) discuss the Ark Sports VIGG and the brand new VIGG AIR Swimrun wetsuits.

Welcome to episode 183 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast! Welcome to the latest addition to our ad hoc Swimrun 101 series. This edition is all about Swimrun travel. We joke that one of the best things about Swimrun is that you don’t have to travel with a bike and while that is indeed a lovely feature of the sport, getting you and your gear to your Swimrun destination is its own unique puzzle and something that we get asked a lot of questions about. So in this episode we break down...
