Frosty Dips and Festive Gifts

Published: Thu, 12/21/17

Merry Christmas from the Outdoor Swimmer team! We hope you have a great holiday and enjoy some festive cold water dips. I have loved receiving your snowy and cold water swim snaps over the past couple of weeks – a few of our favourites are below. Keep them coming!

If you need some last minute Christmas presents check out our Outdoor Swimmer Christmas Gift Guide – as well as loads of festive swimming gifts we also have discount codes for savings on Swimzi, Eskeez, Charlie McLeod, Big Bobble Hats and Pool Backpacks.

We are very proud that Outdoor Swimmer magazine has been nominated for a WOWSA Award for Open Water Swimming Offering of the Year in recognition of the success of our rebrand and relaunch in April this year. Please vote for us here!

Happy Christmas and happy swimming,

Jonathan Cowie
