H2Open Newsletter - Swim training types and personality
Published: Wed, 03/23/16
April / May 2016 Issue at the printer
As well as having a busy weekend at Swim Expo, we also sent the April/May issue to the printer, so that should now go in the post to subscribers early next week. See below for a preview of the contents.
Swim Expo took place alongside Run Expo and Bike Expo. A lot of the visitors were triathletes and many were new to open water swimming. It was therefore interesting to hear their thoughts about swimming outside. One thing is clear: a lot of people see open water swimming as cold, dirty and dangerous.
Those of us who are already converts know that this isn't the case but if we
want open water swimming to continue growing we need to talk positively about the sport and all do our part to dispel some of the negative images. Our message this week then is: don't talk open water swimming down.
Happy swimming
