We are (Chipper and Chris) a Swimrun team based in Northern California. We are good friends, new-ish dads, training buddies, adventure seekers, accountability partners, and endurance “athletes.” With the blessing of our wives we have competed in everything from road marathons to Ironman triathlons to ultramarathons to double century cycling events to local turkey trots. We started participating in Swimrun events in 2018 and got hooked right away and thus, the Löw Tide Böyz were born! (The show and meme account were born in late 2019)

Our dual goals for putting ourselves out there with starting a podcast were to help grow the sport of Swimrun in the United States/The World while striving to make it as accessible, inclusive, and diverse as possible in the process.

So far, so good!
