Welcome to the May issue of Outdoor Swimmer. With the country opening up again and spring definitely here, we thought it was the perfect time for us to have a little refresh. As well as a subtle redesign we also extend a warm welcome this issue to new columnists and monthly features: in our new expanded Coach section Dan Bullock of Swim For Tri is going to be keeping our training on track with monthly pool sessions for our new ‘Pool Page’; ‘You ask, We Answer’ is your opportunity to have all your outdoor swimming questions answered by our team of experts; Alice Goodridge will be joining us from north of the border with her new column ‘Swimming Wild’; ‘Eco Pages’ by Susanne Masters are a mixture of wildlife, nature and environmental issues; in ‘Swimming Around...’ we will be highlighting where to swim safely and responsibly in a different area each month; and your letters and stories have moved to their own ‘Swim Life’ section at the back of the magazine. We hope you enjoy the new content – please let us know what you think!
