This weekend we are at our first event of the season, the first race in the Galeforce Events Mass Participation Swim Series. It's a friendly and good value series of swims at Box End Park near Bedford, which we are proud to sponsor. With distances between 750m and 10k, we look forward to seeing some of you there. 
Outdoor Swimmer are also fielding a team at the SLSC Midsummer Relay at Tooting Bec Lido on 21 June. If you are based in or near London and reckon you can beat us, entries are now open. It is a great event  – and I am not saying that just because I help organise it!
Enjoy this week's newsletter and happy swimming.
