We're about to go to press with the May issue of Outdoor Swimmer and it's another great issue to look forward to. I'm particularly enjoying our swimming history series by Elaine Howley, our contributor from the US. This month she tells the story of a marathon swim around Absecon Island and how it helped turn Marilyn Bell into
a global swimming star. See below for an extract. Other highlights to look out for include my report from Swimrun Hvar (you can see from the picture how tired I was as I crossed the line, and that was just the sprint!), a swim revival in the Czech Republic, some spring training sessions and more advice on keeping your shoulders injury free.
This is also your last chance to buy our April issue from us directly. It's our one-year anniversary issue since rebranding to Outdoor Swimmer and to celebrate we are donating £1 to Macmillan Cancer Support for every copy you buy.
See below for details of an amazing extreme early season English Channel relay and also, are you a plodder or
an improver?
Enjoy the newsletter and happy swimming,
