Dear Outdoor Swimmers,
Two months ago we launched the Outdoor Swimmer Family, a new package of reader experiences to support the quality, informative journalism that readers like you enjoy on our website, newsletter, social media and in Outdoor Swimmer magazine.
As the Covid pandemic struck and its financial ramifications became apparent, we found ourselves unable to afford to print our much-loved magazine. With some trepidation we turned to our loyal readers for support.
We have been totally blown away by the support we have received. The current climate hasn’t been easy for anyone, but thanks to the generosity of swimmers across the world we have been able to return to print Outdoor Swimmer magazine. The
success of our four reader packages – Fan, Supporter, Patron and Super Patron – has allowed us to continue celebrating the sport we love and has also given you the opportunity to be part of its success. We truly do feel part of a global family of swimmers, and the emails and social media messages of support we have received have really inspired and moved us.
When we asked for support we also wanted to offer benefits in return – so all levels of the Family offer special perks, including swim badges, time with the team, free gifts, entry to events – as well as print and digital issues of Outdoor
Swimmer magazine. We love receiving your photos of your swim badges and the creative ways you have sewn then on to your kit – keep them coming!
