We find ourselves in uncharted waters. In these uncertain times, more than anything, we need things that inspire and
motivate us. Starting today we will be bringing you two weekly newsletters sharing swimmer’s stories, exercises, distractions, long reads, advice, videos, amusements, challenges and competitions – a little bit of swimspiration while we dream of when the open water will be truly open again.
Reading will help keep us sane in these difficult days, so all our digital back issues are available for download at 60% off until 5 April. And the brand new issue of Outdoor Swimmer magazine is on sale now with free postage and packaging for delivery next week.
Stay safe,
Jonathan Cowie
Editor, Outdoor Swimmer magazine
