Top stories from our website this week
We hope none of you were really fooled by our story yesterday about heating the ocean for the
Olympic Marathon swim. However, it seems that lakes and rivers are slowly warming up in the UK with rumours of double digits being reached in places. A few commercial venues will be opening their doors this weekend with the rest to follow soon so maybe it's time to get outside if you haven't done so already this year. Meanwhile, here are the most read stories from our website this week.

Our April/May issue of H2Open includes a free guide to Masters Swimming. If you're looking to train more consistently, swim faster or add another social angle to your swimming then joining a masters swimming club could be the way to go. The guide is available as a free download through our app
so can be read on your PC, iPad or Android tablet. There's also a mobile friendly version so you can read it easily on a phone.
We now maintain one list for our regular weekly email newsletters (usually sent out on Wednesdays at around
lunchtime in the UK) and emails about H2Open and a separate list for sponsored emails. The latter are dedicated emails for specific events or products related to open water swimming that we send out on behalf of our advertisers. You can manage which type of emails you receive using the “Change Subscriber Options” link at the bottom of this email. We really appreciate your support of our advertisers.
