SHARE THE SWIM LOVE

If author Roger Deakin sowed the seed to swim wild again, Kate Rew, founder of the Outdoor Swimming Society, cultivated the idea that we can and should plunge in and swim freely in open water. In the June issue of Outdoor Swimmer we meet Kate and chat about the art, sport and science of swimming outdoors. Read the interview in the new issue – hot off the presses and shipping now.
