Do you swim for the win or swim for the zing? Whether you are a wild dipper or wetsuit racer, Outdoor Swimmer magazine is packed full of inspiration and advice to help you swim wild and free. The latest issue covers everything from the importance of campaigning to support your local pool to the deadly history of chlorine, via swimming laps of a lido to earn a fish and chip supper and an exciting swim from Albania to Corfu. Plus, training & technique advice for all abilities – whether you want to swim a 10k or feel more comfortable putting your head under the water – and a pull-out and keep Training Guide to inspire your training plans over winter. In Gear we test boots and blankets and in Travel we explore Copenhagen, Somerset, Cape Finisterre and Essex. If that sounds like your idea of a good read, join the thousands of other swimmers who swim better and live better by reading Outdoor Swimmer magazine every month.
