NEW ISSUE! Sneak preview of the July issue 🏄‍♂️

Published: Fri, 06/21/24

Updated: Fri, 06/21/24

We sent the July issue of Outdoor Swimmer to press last week and it is now available to order!

The new issue is all about alternative ways to enjoy the water. We test watersports kit – from kayaks to Seabikes. We chat to paddleboard pros and hear from mudlarks. And we celebrate the ‘towel holders’ – our wonderful friends and family who wait on shore for us (and look out for us) while we are swimming.

Scientifically, we can all benefit from being beside water, which is why we are often drawn to the sea, riverbanks and lapping lakes. A lot of fun can be had at the water’s edge – plunge into the July issue and you might find an alternative hobby for when you don’t fancy a swim yourself.

Don't forget you can subscribe and not only get this issue in the post but save on every edition.
