This month’s magazine has taken a different shape as with the arrival of spring in the northern hemisphere comes the arrival of autumn and cooler months in the southern hemisphere. In this issue we celebrate the arrival of spring in the first part of the magazine, then look at a global view of swimming mid-way before asking you to 'tilt & turn' your magazine to go south. We have a double cover too, to make it extra fun (or confusing)!
