Outdoor Swimmer is an independent magazine produced by a small team of swimmers who love outdoor swimming as much as you do. We aren't a big publishing house – the magazine is written and put together every month at our kitchen tables and in our home offices. If you haven't yet read an issue, our 2019 back issues are free to download until midnight tonight. As many of us find ourselves in isolation, reading will help keep us sane and we hope you find swimming inspiration in our pages. If you like what you read, please think about subscribing or buying an issue to help us keep providing swimming inspiration every month.
Outdoor Swimmer is an independent magazine produced every month by swimmers for swimmers. Beautifully produced, it is packed full of outdoor swimming inspiration, training and technique advice, stories, gear reviews and stunning photography. Check out our print subscription options below.
Outdoor Swimmer is much more than a magazine. As part of our Swim Wild and Free
community of swimmers you will also have access to exclusive benefits such as golden tickets, subscriber events, coaching sessions and special offers. Plus you will benefit from continued saving on all future issues and you'll get your copies first before they are available in the shops.
