H2Open Newsletter - Don't (Always) Follow Your Dreams

Published: Wed, 03/30/16

 
The April/May issue of H2Open Magazine is now at the printers and will be with subscribers next week. Our Spring issue is packed full of inspirational stories and interviews, as well as training, technique and nutrition advice, and full event listings for the the year ahead. We profile English Channel pioneer Mercedes Gleitze, interview Lake Geneva marathon swimmer Jaimie Monahan, and visit Spain and Florida for some swimming holiday inspiration. If you can't wait for the issue to hit the shops you can download the digital edition now and also get our free masters swimming supplement. Alternatively, download our app from iTunes or the Google Play store.
It is always great hearing about your swimming challenges, but sometimes injury or lack of free time means that big swims are just not a possibility. That can be a challenge in itself. In this week's blog we look at the psychological implications of not having a big event to train for.
We want to hear from you for our letters page – email us your letters and swimming pics to be in with a chance of being featured in the magazine and winning a backpack from Arena.
Enjoy the newsletter and happy swimming,
Jonathan Cowie
Editor, H2Open Magazine
