April Issue

Swim Strong

One of the things we love most about putting together Outdoor Swimmer every month is the range of stories we hear from our contributors. Swimmers' stories from around the world never cease to astound and inspire us. In our cover story this month, new editor Ella Foote meets the women bringing sass and sustainability to modest swimwear and investigates how we can make outdoor swimming and the outdoors more accessible.

The April issue of Outdoor Swimmer draws together a mixture of entertaining features, stories and practical advice to inspire your Spring swimming – order today for free delivery. Here's a taster of what you can read inside.
