Outdoor Swimmer Magazine FREE Sample Issue Edizione speciale

The end of summer is the traditional time in an open water swimmer’s diary for preparing for colder water while enjoying the autumn fall in temperatures. But as our climate continues to change, our seasons are becoming a blur. In the September issue we explore this changing season phenomenon and discover how we can swim forwards, whatever the weather. Inspired by the Olympics? Why not hone your river swimming skills or dip a toe into urban wild swimming. Plus, we celebrate the everyday heroes who smashed long-distance records this summer. Ready to race? We explore the thrilling world of pool racing – and Olympian Cassie Patten shares her favourite pool drills for open water swimmers. In Gear we review the biggest selection of robes we have ever tested so you can choose the best kit for you and your budget. And we have wild swimming inspiration from Cornwall, Switzerland and Scotland – plus the best independent cafés in the UK to enjoy a tasty post-swim treat.
