Over the past few weeks we've been working to improve our listings pages. Our readers frequently ask us for information on events, venues and coaches. We now have listings for all these (and these are frequently the most visited parts of our website) plus a new category for guided swims. A basic listing in any of these categories is free. Please take a look:

 

>>Events

>>Venues

>>Coaches

>>Guided swims

For increased discoverability, please ask Stuart about our premium options. For events, this includes a listing in our weekly email newsletter and for venues and coaches we have a dedicated section in Outdoor Swimmer magazine.

 

We are publishing a dedicated events supplement with our April issue. If you want your event included, you need to contact Stuart immediately. We will also share this supplement digitally and expect it will be the go-to reference for swimmers looking for swims this summer.

 

Is outdoor swimming still growing? How much do people really like swimming? How has the cost of living crisis affected people's swimming habits?

If you want to know the answer to these questions then you need to read our latest Trends in Outdoor Swimming update. Look out for more details on this shortly.

 

Last week, Ella and I joined the Teddington Bluetits on a protest swim against Thames Water's plans to abstract water from the Thames near Kingston and replace it with effluent from Mogden Sewage Treatment Works. The BBC was there to record it.
