This week we are proud to launch our Spring Clean campaign. See below to find out how you can get involved and help make our outdoor swimming spots more enjoyable places to swim for everyone. 
We also meet the cover model of the first issue of Outdoor Swimmer, reader Emily Seymour. We are a magazine written by swimmers for swimmers and it is important to us that our cover models are real swimmers too, not airbrushed professional models. We caught up with Emily to find out about her swimming background and ambitions – and how she feels about being our first reader cover star!
Enjoy the newsletter and happy swimming.

Editor, Outdoor Swimmer Magazine
