Today is press day for the Christmas issue of Outdoor Swimmer magazine – and it's a cracker of an issue! More about what's inside next week. In the meantime we are getting excited about our weekend trip to the Kendal Mountain Festival, where we are supporting the Outdoor Swimming session on Sunday morning. It looks like it is going to be a great weekend of adventure – hope to see some of you there.
In today's newsletter we have part two of BAFTA-nominated film director Stefan Stuckert's top tips for making DIY swim films. We have already received some great films from you – if you have any of your own mini masterpieces you would like to share, send them in to me at editor@outdoorswimmer.com.
Enjoy the newsletter and happy swimming,

Jonathan Cowie

Editor, Outdoor Swimmer
