In case you missed it, here's a reminder that the October 'Health' issue of Outdoor Swimmer is on sale now.

The issue, themed around swimming and health, is packed full of advice on how to keep ourselves fit and healthy this winter. 

In our lead feature, we meet the Brighton sea-swimming community who claim to have discovered the elixir of youth! Join the tribe of middle-aged women taking on epic swims and voyages of self-discovery. Get inspired by 'Wingless Warrior' Kerry-Lee Gockel, an armless open water swimmer from Australia. And we explore Long Covid and swimmers’ itches and rashes – ouch!

As many swimmers head back to the pool, we put pool and dryland training gear to the test and find out how to adjust to pool swimming after a summer in open water. Plus, special places to stay and swim in Dorset, Northumbria and Canada – and reviews of events to put on your wish list for next year. And that’s not all – every issue also includes a free pull-out-and-keep Winter Swim Guide to get you ready for the season ahead. 

All this – plus all your favourite regular reads – is in the Health issue of Outdoor Swimmer. Order now to get your copy hot off the press. And don't forget you can subscribe and save on every edition.
