New issue alert! Our one-year anniversary issue is a cracker to get you in the mood for the start of the main outdoor swimming season. On the training front, we've got a couple of kick and pull sets to try out for a fitness and technique boost, and we look at how poor technique may not only slow you
down but also be a factor in shoulder injuries. Our contributor Becky Horsbrugh relates how she became a hero for a day in Bangladesh when she swam across the Bangla Channel. Then, just in case you thought outdoor swimming was a new thing, Richard Nelsson tells us the story of two swimmers from the 1950s who swam in every tarn in the Lake District, naked. Plus, we test swimming costumes, trunks, goggles, hats, ear plugs, wetsuits, base layers and kit bags in
our new extended gear section. All added to our usual mix of inspirational stories, photography, training, technique and adventure.
Enjoy the newsletter and happy swimming,
