Welcome to the newsletter. The December/January issue of the magazine goes to press next week. We have loads of great features and articles in the Christmas issue – including the final instalment of
Simon Murie's series on Lord Byron's swims, Cassie Patten's views on wetsuit swimming, following the whisky trail from the water in Speyside and swimming with killer whales (yes, that's right – killer whales!). Plus, special Christmas features on winter swimming and all the best kit for open water swimmers in our Christmas gift wish list. If you're not yet a subscriber and want to ensure you receive a copy, please sign up before next Tuesday (17 November).
We also want to hear from you – whether it's about something you have read in the magazine or an amazing race or swim you would like to share, send us a letter to editor@h2openmagazine.com and you could be in with the chance of winning an Aropec Breaker waterproof rucksack worth £50.99 if we publish it in the magazine.
In this week's training feature we give you the low down on the pace clock and how and why you should use it while training indoors. Plus, we have a guide to working out what kind of open water swimmer you should be and the latest blog from Deborah Durbin.
Enjoy the newsletter and happy swimming!
