The July issue of Outdoor Swimmer is a Wild Swimming special and will be arriving with subscribers at the end of this week. But the June issue of Outdoor Swimmer is still on sale and there are still two Golden Tickets to be found to win a dryrobe! Get your copy from your local newsagent or order directly from us to be in with a chance of winning an exclusive Outdoor Swimmer dryrobe.

As summer is now finally here it is important that we not only know how to swim safely ourselves, but also pass on that knowledge to others to make swimming outdoors safer for all. Our July Wild Swimming special includes our guide to swimming safely this summer as well as a host of features to inspire you to get outside and have your own wild swimming adventures.

Enjoy this week's newsletter and happy swimming.
