Treat yourself to a bit of me time and immerse yourself in the fun, adventurous and inspiring world of outdoor swimming. Reading about swimming is almost as good as swimming itself - and with Outdoor Swimmer magazine you'll also ensure you pick up a few tips ideas to make even more of your next trip to the water.

The open water swimming season is now in full swing with multiple events every weekend through to the end of September. Our June issue is a celebration of early summer: one of the best times of year to get outside and enjoy the water. We lead with the inspirational story of Kim Chambers' fight back from a freak crippling injury to becoming the first woman to complete the 30-mile swim from the Farallon Islands to San Francisco. Then, if you're looking to improve your own swimming, we've got some tips to boost your front crawl speed, five endurance training hacks and advice on how to manage the very real fear of deep water. And don't forget our detailed event listings so you can join the fun.

The cost of the magazine is £5.25 plus postage and packing. And this month, for an additional £2, you can also add a copy of our Escape the Pool (worth £4), written for those of you who are just starting on your outdoor swimming journeys.
