Live in the Sunshine, Swim in the Sea

Published: Wed, 06/14/17

Summer's finally here (although unfortunately it seemed to avoid Windermere at the weekend for the Great North Swim) and we're putting the finishing touches to the July issue of Outdoor Swimmer Magazine. Our Wild Swimming special is a celebration of the joy of swimming outdoors and will hopefully inspire you to get out and create your own wild swimming adventures.

Do you fancy a new pair of Zoggs goggles worth £20? All you need to do is tell a friend about us and get them to sign up to our magazine. Sign them up to Outdoor Swimmer and we'll send you a free pair of Zoggs Advanced Ultra Fit Predator Goggles worth £20 - http://outdoorswimmer.com/refer-a-friend

Enjoy this week's newsletter and happy swimming.
