Dear Swimmer

Night swimming is so magical there's a song about it. If you've not tried it, you might be wondering what the fuss is about. You might even be scared of things that go bump in the night - things that bump into your leg, that is!

From the endurance swimmers who swim through the night to cross oceans, to the spiritual full moon swims and immersing in the magic of nature, we explore every facet of night swimming in our May issue.

Pre-order your Night Swimming issue and get free delivery, or join Outdoor Swimmer by April 21st to get it through the post as your first issue.

NIGHT CRAWLERS

Picture being in open water at night, and thrillers like The Reef and Open Water might come to mind. But the exact reason night swimming is thrilling makes it magical.

We explore how outdoor swimming in the dark opens up a unique world of long-distance adventure, focused training, and powerful personal stories. Night swimming demands careful consideration of safety, risk, and specialist gear, but it also offers moments of pure magic, from heightened senses to rare experiences such as swimming with bioluminescence.

Plus, we discover how training at night helps endurance swimmers, meet the creatures that come out at night, and hear from night swimming event organisers.

As well as beautiful full moons, the spring brings sunshine, and with it comes growth. Our May issue supports your growth as a swimmer with coaching tips and inspiration for new horizons to explore.

Plus, Victoria Bennett, author of Apothecary by the Sea, gives us recipes for sea-foraged skin treatments and winter warmers alongside sharing her incredible story in her Swimterview.
