Dear fellow swimmers
I hope you've been making the most of the glorious weather this week and that you've managed to get some fantastic swims in!
This weekend, the June issue lands with subscribers and it's one we think you're going to love. The issue gets to the heart of why so many of us fell in love with outdoor
swimming in the first place, not the times, the distances or the events, but the people, the curiosity, and the sense of adventure.
This issue is all about DIY swimming: the idea that you don't need permission, an entry form, or an official route to have a genuine swimming adventure. Some of the most beloved swims in the outdoor swimming world, like the Dart 10K, the Henley Swim events and countless swim-tour destinations, all started
with just one or two people following their curiosity downstream, across a bay, or out to that distant headland. This issue celebrates that spirit, and gives you the tips and inspiration to create your own.
Make this summer an adventure
Summer is the perfect time to lean into this. The conditions are on your side, so why not start wondering what's just around the bend of your favourite river,
or across that stretch of water you've always eyed up?
