Whether you are a wild dipper or have your sights set on a 10k swim this summer (or you are both!), we could all do with some help improving our stroke. In the Coach section of this month's Outdoor Swimmer magazine we look at energy direction in the water and at the importance of the pressure you apply during your catch. Olympic medalist Cassie Patten answers your question “What drills should I use in the pool?”
and Dan Bullock of Swim for Tri shares an easy to follow pool training session to swim off the festive excesses. On test this month we review the best changing robes to keep you warm and dry after your swim. And check out our Events section for comprehensive UK and international race listings for 2022.
