It is just over a week until our Open Water Swimming Show at the Henley Mile on Sunday 10 July. A great event with a great show attached! If you still haven't taken the plunge into the open water, or you know someone who needs a bit of a confidence boost to start swimming outdoors, why not sign up to the Beginners' Experience at the Open Water Swimming Show. Register by Monday 4 July with the code 2016HMH2O10 and you will get 10% off.  
In the newsletter this week we bring you news of Sean Conway's epic round-Britain triathlon, Kane Radford's victory in his appeal to overturn Swimming NZ's decision not to send him to Rio, top tips on planning your own wild swimming adventure and Simon offers some advice on bilateral breathing.
Enjoy the newsletter and happy swimming,
