August will soon be upon us, and so will the August issue of Outdoor Swimmer, to get in the right mood and frame of mind for your next outdoor swimming adventure, whether it's a
race, a wild swim expedition or a family trip to a lido. We're sending the magazine to press today for postage to subscribers next week.
Swimming (and more) at Bray Lake
Whether you have been open water swimming for years, just like the idea of swimming outdoors or you are doing your first triathlon, Bray Lake is the ideal
place to swim. Friendly and safe, yet challenging if you need it to be with a variety of distances and exposure. Be warned though, open water swimming is very addictive.
