"I love how swimming is not one thing, but so many, there are always new angles of it to explore." Kate Rew, founder of the Outdoor Swimming Society
Outdoor swimming means something different to every swimmer. In the June issue of Outdoor Swimmer we explore new ways to enjoy the water – whether that's sewing your own swimming costume or swimhiking the Devon coast. Our cover interview is with Kate Rew, who founded the Outdoor Swimming Society 16
years ago; she reflects on how attitudes to swimming outdoors have changed over the past two decades. We find out how to campaign to get your local swim spot granted Designated Bathing Water status. As the summer solstice approaches, we offer some creative ideas for celebrating the shifting seasons. And in our Coach section Dan Bullock shows how to prepare for the open water racing season with an easy-to-follow pool training session.
Whether you are a wild swimmer, mental health dipper or weekend warrior, dive into the June issue of Outdoor Swimmer for inspiring swim stories from around the world.
