How can we do more for swimming? Inside the new PROTEST issue

Published: Tue, 01/30/24

In the new ‘Protest’ issue of Outdoor Swimmer – out now and available to order! – we ask not only how can you be a better swimmer but how can you do more for swimming?

Whether litter picking at your favourite swim spot, campaigning for better water quality, fighting for our right to swim or making more informed choices when choosing swimwear, the fight for a better swimming world is being fought on many fronts.

We peek inside the new PROTEST issue and look at three ways you can show your support for swimming. Order your copy for more inspiring stories, plus all the latest outdoor swimming news, training and technique, swim travel, event listings and gear reviews.

“We can all be imperfect environmentalists. It’s overwhelming, but as individuals, if we all do our part, then we can make collective change. 2 Minute Beach Clean is about being really good stewards of the planet, so we all need to be in this together.”

Nicky Green, CEO 2 Minute Foundation CEO

Make sustainable kit choices

“We are in the early stages of our sustainability journey and this is a great leap in the right direction for the industry. The fact that we have a performance focused wetsuit that can biodegrade at the end of its lifestyle is game-changing.”

Xander Brice, ZONE3 Brand and Partnerships Manager

Just keep swimming

“The environment can often be used as a reason for people not to be allowed to swim, but in practice the opposite is true… If swimming is welcomed and regular it tends to be a positive influence.”

Imogen Radford, the Outdoor Swimming Society’s Inland Access Group
