Dear Swimmer

Is outdoor swimming more than a hobby? The outdoor swim-life is part of who we are - it's a lifestyle.

The energy of swim lifers is infectious. People whose careers, friendships, leisure, and holidays are shaped by outdoor swimming. Those of us whose bookshelves, playlists and film choices are swimming-oriented, whose wardrobes are configured by swim season and whose birthday wish-list is swimmy.

In our May issue, discover how outdoor swimming is a lifestyle sport, the many surprising ways it’s shaped people’s lives and how swim-lifers bring the good stuff – inspiring adventure, protecting the ocean, creating art, baking cake and making life a little better for us all.

Swim this way for the good swim life - buy the Swim Lifestyle issue or subscribe today and read the digital issue straight away.

SWIMMING SAVED MY LIFE

Sounds dramatic - and it is. Swimming outdoors has been a lifesaver for many because it's so transformative. We meet people who have swum their way to better lives from lifechanging injuries and physical and mental poor health. We ask Dr Mark Harper why swimming outdoors is so powerful - and addictive.

We also meet Adam Peaty who's helping change the swim club experience for young people, explore the story behind the Netflix series North of North and find out how to get into a flow state when you swim.

LOOKING AFTER SWIM SKIN

How are you looking after your skin when you swim? With water magnifying the effects of the sun, it's really important that we protect our skin. We find out why - and test water resistant sun cream.
