Outdoor Swimmer | August 20
After months of not swimming, if you are anything like us you are making the most of your local swimming spots. In this issue Simon Murie recommends lesser known UK swimming destinations for some post-lockdown swimspiration, Keri-anne Payne gives us an open water checklist to make sure the fundamentals of our stroke are solid, and Ray Gibbs and Alice Todd discuss the unexpected benefits lockdown could have on our swimming. And Simon Griffiths has some radical suggestions to help make our rivers safer for swimmers.
We discover the story of 'Tuna' Chapman – the first successful solo black English Channel swimmer – , explore the world of outdoor pools and lidos, and learn how to forage for tasty ingredients at your local swim spot.
Plus, videos, podcasts, training and technique advice, open water news and more of your stunning photography and inspirational stories. Happy swimming!
