Nailing Your Off-Season Training w/Gerry Rodrigues
Welcome to episode 203 of the Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!
We’ve got a great one for everyone this week. Back on the show is none other than Elite Swim and Triathlon Coach and Founder of Tower 26, Coach Gerry Rodrigues. In this conversation he shares his wisdom for nailing your off-season swim training, shares his favorite training tools, and so much more.

Nailing Your Off-season Training w/Coach Gerry Rodrigues
It was great to chat with Tower 26 Founder and Coach Gerry Rodrigues. It’s almost embarrassing that it had been almost three years since we last had him on the show! (Make sure to check out Episode 32 of the pod for our first conversation with him.) Gerry has such a wealth of knowledge and experience and we didn’t waste any time peppered him with questions about off-season training, what he’s learned over the years, what training tools he’s stoked about, and so much more.
