BEYOND BOUNDARIES

Access to swimming outdoors means many things to many people.

Sophie Etheridge discusses education over exclusion, Simon Griffiths explores the joy of realising that you don't need permission to swim wild, and Ella Foote talks to academic Cristy Clark about her new book, Legal Geographies of Water.

Plus, we welcome Olympic open water swimmer Alice Dearing as a coaching contributor, explore the best way to warm your feet post-swim, and meet the children breaking new open water boundaries.
