Our dedicated team here at Outdoor Swimmer are putting together the final touches of our November 2019 issue, which means time is running out to get your hands on a copy of our
October issue.
We were privileged in September to have one of our contributors, the brilliant Elaine Howley, on the support boat for Sarah Thomas's epic four-way Channel swim. Elaine has written a moving six-page exclusive account of Sarah's journey and swim, and I wonder how many of you will read it without getting a lump in your throat?
Somehow, Elaine also found the time to write a second article for October. As part of her 'history of swimming' series she recounts the life and times of CG Forsberg, a driving force in the open water swimming world for more than 40 years.
Elsewhere, two-time open water world champion Keri-anne Payne shares her planning techniques to help you achieve your own swimming goals, we look at how to balance recovery with on-going training after a big swim and how sports psychology can help you manage fears and anxiety when swimming outdoors.
Outdoor Swimmer costs £5.75 plus postage and packing and is available through us directly
here. Read it and be inspired.
