Looking for some last minute swimming gear gifts? Don't buy without reading our gear reviews and buying guides.
As an independent magazine written by a team of fanatical outdoor swimmers, we
personally test every piece of kit we review. And if we don't like it, it doesn't go in the magazine.
Check out our guides to buying men and women's training swimwear, reviews of goggles and waterproof headphones in our December issue. or subscribe to access a library full of reviews!
Every magazine contains a beautiful gear section full of reviews by the Outdoor Swimmer's expert team. Each issue contains reviews on items in a particular category from thermal swimwear (Jan 2025) to sustainable kit (July 2025) to women's training swimwear (December 2025).
We explore topics like sustainable shopping, how to look after your kit and how to find wetsuits and goggles that fit properly. Plus, the team shares their favourite bits of gear.
