SWIMMING THE TEMPS DOWN

As the weather cools down, so does the water. Marathon swimmer Sarah Thomas shares her advice on swimming into the autumn.

SWIM THE EQUINOX

As we approach the spring equinox here in the northern hemisphere and the autumn equinox where you are, swimmers across the world celebrate the beginning of the seasons with their own rituals: sunset or sunrise swims, moonlit dips, gathering on shores to mark the passing of time.

Is swimming the activity most closely linked to the turning of the earth? We find out how swimming the seasons marks the passing of time.

FINISH THE SEASON STRONG

As the swimming season draws to a close in the southern hemisphere, many of you will be facing your most demanding events and challenges.

Whether you’re tackling a final race, embarking on a long-distance marathon swim, or aiming for a personal best time in the pool, the transition from the height of summer to the cooler, unpredictable conditions of early autumn requires careful preparation as Paul Newsome explains.
