Take a look at our article about the strange swimming history or Chairman Mao Zedong

A life-long swimmer, Mao Zedong used his love of swimming for political gain. The attached article, which is part of our fascinating swimming history series and appears in the January 2019 issue of Outdoor Swimmer, reveals all.

Also in our first edition of 2019: how to boost your motivation, our pick of the must-do swims this year, how to combat shoulder pain, and why there are more female cold water swimmers than men.

If that sounds too good to miss, then why not get the January issue, as well as February and March for just £5*, and then pay just £4.50 per issue after that.
