At Outdoor Swimmer we are on a mission to spread the joy of outdoor swimming. We love how outdoor swimming enhances our lives in so many ways, and if you swim too we know that you will feel the same. A subscription to Outdoor Swimmer magazine is so much more than receiving a magazine every month. As a subscriber you become part of our global swimming community – with a special fabric badge to sew on your kit! You will receive invitations to our subscriber evenings with swimming experts and adventurers (recent guests include cold water experts Susanna Søberg and Mark Harper and length of Britain swimmer Jasmine Harrison). Subscribers not only save up to 20% on the cover price, but also access exclusive discounts and offers from your favourite swim brands and event companies. Oh, and did we mention you get a beautiful magazine full of swimming inspiration delivered to your door every month as well as free access to the latest digital edition!

Each issue of Outdoor Swimmer is packed full of exclusive features, practical advice, location information and swimming stories to inspire your wild swimming adventures. Plus, health news, outdoor swimming news, training, technique, travel, event listings, gear news and kit reviews.
