One of the things we are most proud of at Outdoor Swimmer is that the magazine is written by swimmers for swimmers. So although I am slightly embarrassed to be this month's cover model, it does serve to prove that we practise what we preach. Winter swimmers, Channel swimmers, daily dippers, wetsuit racers, wild swimmers, Olympic medallists, open water coaches... the Outdoor Swimmer team aims to represent the outdoor swimming community in all its forms. And if you haven't quite mustered up the courage to take the plunge, hopefully you will find inspiration in these pages to join us.
This issue we bring you mudlarking, open water skills in the pool, advice on sea swimming, sustainable fashion, swimming history, winter sun destinations, festive dips, wildlife, training sessions and event listings. Swim wild and free,
