[H2Open Newsletter] - How to pass yourself off as an Olympic swimmer
Published: Wed, 10/07/15
Autumn has definitely arrived in the UK. Last weekend we were at the Macmillan Lido Challenge at Tooting Bec Lido in south London, where the water was 12 degrees Celsius.
As you may remember from previous newsletters, my challenge was to swim the 2km distance without my wetsuit – despite my cold water acclimatision being slightly hampered by a week swimming in Crete, where I was mistaken for a member of an international Olympic swimming
team.
We are looking for readers' New Year's swimming resolutions to feature in the December/January issue of the magazine. Whether it is swimming your first 10k, learning to breathe bilaterally or how to put on weight to swim the Channel, send us in your swimming goal for 2016 and if we choose to feature it in the magazine one of our experts will give you tips and
advice on how to achieve it.
In the newsletter this week we also look at the optimum head position in front crawl in our new training section.

You can manage which type of emails you receive using the “Change
