The Christmas issue of H2Open magazine goes on sale in WH Smiths this week in the UK or you can download our digital edition here. Or save money by taking out a subscription to H2Open magazine from only £8.70. Take a sneak peak at the highlights of the new issue here.
We are already working on our February/March 2016 issue, in which we are very excited to have a Q&A session with Olympic bronze medallist and open water swimming legend Cassie Patten. If you have a question for Cassie please email editor@h2openmagazine.com.
In our training section this week we look at the effect of drafting – even when you don't know you are doing it. We have five easy dry land exercises to keep you strong and supple, and we look at ways to boost your immune system as winter hits.
Enjoy the newsletter and happy swimming!
