[H2Open Newsletter] - Our Top 10 Tips for Cold Water Swimming

Published: Wed, 10/14/15

   
Welcome to the newsletter. As it is getting colder in the UK, this week we bring you some top tips to keep you swimming outdoors through the autumn and winter – with or without your wetsuit.
For the Christmas issue of the magazine we want recipes of your favourite cakes to eat after a cold water swim. If we feature your cake you will win a Big Bobble Hat so send us your recipes and the reasons why your cake is perfect for cold water swimming.
We are also looking for readers' New Year's swimming resolutions. Send us 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.
While I have been planning the Christmas issue, Simon has been eking out the last of the summer swimming in Italy – where he also got stung by jellyfish for the first time.
In the news this week a relay team attempts to swim the length of the River Ganges, elite action from the penultimate leg of the FINA World Cup and a team of charity swimmers set a new world record in the Swahili Channel. Plus, the latest blog from guest blogger Deborah Durbin.
Enjoy the newsletter and happy swimming!
