<p>Welcome to episode seventy-nine of the<a href="https://lowtideboyz.com/"> Löw Tide Böyz - A Swimrun Podcast!</a></p><p>This week’s show is all about swimming. We were super lucky to be able to chat with Gemma Hollis of <a href="https://pushglidekick.wixsite.com/mysite">PushGlideKick</a>. She’s a swim stroke and mechanics expert and we pick her brain on all things swimming for Swimrun. Get your notepads out for this one.</p><p>More on this interview later in the show.</p><p><strong>Training Update</strong></p><p>We’re stuffing as much hay into the barn as we can the next few weeks during our last training block for <a href="https://www.odysseyswimrun.com/casco">Casco Bay</a>.

We looked up that race after seeing his post on Strava and it didn’t look easy! Strong work Oskar!</p><p>Need some inspiration in your training life?
