Last week was press week at Outdoor Swimmer HQ, which means we have another cracker of an issue ready for you! The February issue of OS is packed full of awesome features to help you keep your New Year challenges on track and inspire your swimming adventures. An introduction to the world's most iconic swim, the English Channel; wild swimming adventures; swimming heroes; neoprene accessories on test. Elsewhere in the magazine, we have inspiring stories of personal challenges as well as the usual mix of swim stories, nutrition, technique, events, destinations, interviews and more of your stunning photography. Pre-order your copy directly from us or download the digital version now!
Enjoy the newsletter and happy swimming,

Jonathan Cowie

Editor, Outdoor Swimmer

P.S. Thanks to everyone who wrote in to point out that Simon should have written 17 January, not 17 December, in last week’s newsletter as the date most people give up their New Year Resolutions. Water on the brain, I guess!
