Today we are launching an exciting new reader package programme to support the future of Outdoor Swimmer. We are a small, independent publisher powered by the passion of a dedicated team of swimmer journalists – and we need your help to keep us afloat.

Fan, Supporter, Patron and Super Patron

You can now enjoy our content and become a part of the wider Outdoor Swimmer community with four new reader packages: Fan, Supporter, Patron and Super Patron. Your support will ensure we can continue supplying the quality, informative journalism that you enjoy on our website, newsletter and in Outdoor Swimmer magazine. Depending on the level you sign up to, the new added-value monthly benefits include a monthly 'mini magazine', print and digital magazine, pre-sale tickets, exclusive offers, free ‘cool’ products or time with the team. All levels offer a special fabric badge to sew onto your swim kit.

Invest in our future

Due to the financial impact of coronavirus, we have had to temporarily become a digital-only magazine. The print magazine will return with a bumper ‘coffee table style’ issue in September 2020 and monthly from 2021. To help us achieve that and continue to publish our online and newsletter stories we need your help – so, if you can, please join the Outdoor Swimmer family and invest in our future. Thank you!
