Still time to feature in our Swim Travel supplement plus gearing up for our May issue

Dear partners and swimming friends,

It's been a busy few weeks at Outdoor Swimmer, with our March issue now landing on doormats. This issue included our annual Events Guide supplement and we're excited to begin sharing this across our digital channels in the coming weeks.

Staying with supplements, our Swim Travel guide is coming along nicely with very few advertising slots remaining. However, there's still time if you'd like to be part of this year's guide. In addition, we’re including four pages of listings of short and long swim breaks. Inclusion in these pages is free – but we need to know about your swims to include them. Please reply to this email  with details.

Looking further ahead to our May issue, this will be big on gear with a host of essential kit on test. As ever, we rely on your help to keep us up to speed on new product releases we should be across. 

Finally, this summer's Outdoor Swimmer Henley Swim Festival is coming into view and we have big plans for the event, which will extend across the weekend of 13/14 July. This is a great opportunity to meet and chat with swimmers and get instant feedback on your products, as well as sales. Do get in touch if you'd like to be part of the action.

Last call for Travel guide

Our Swim Travel supplement is intended to inspire swimmers and get them dreaming about their perfect swimming trip. 

Our supplements are a must-read for our audience. We send them in print format to magazine subscribers and distribute them digitally on our website and app. Find out more here. 

Please contact me to discuss both high-profile paid-for and free listing options.

May issue is Gear Special 

We are working on a bumper gear round-up for our May issue with everything from swimsuits to suncream covered. Please review our gear schedule below for details of kit we will be reviewing and if you have product to promote, contact our gear editor, Jo. 

We republish all gear reviews from Outdoor Swimmer magazine on outdoorswimmer.com and put them in front of our paywall so anyone can read them. They frequently feature in our top-10 most read pages. If you have relevant products to sell, please check our schedule for gear testing in 2024. 

Please note, if you have relevant product news or a new product launch, do let us know, even if it doesn’t fit our testing schedule.

It might be that we cannot feature all brands who are in touch, or you would like to amplify your exposure. If that is the case, we can offer multiple opportunities including adverts next to the Gear section, advertorials or sponsored columns, website adverts complementing the online reviews and we're open to creative ideas. Please get in touch to discuss options.

2024 Gear schedule

Henley on the horizon 

Join us at the Outdoor Swimmer Henley Swim Festival (13/14 July). Last year we had a bumper event village with 28 brands showcasing and selling their offerings. This year the event is expanding to a second day, with the event village opening on Saturday afternoon. Participants will have the opportunity to stroll around the event village before jumping in for an early evening swim. See more information here and get in touch to book your event space. 

We look forward to connecting with you soon and in the meantime, happy dipping and swimming, 

Stuart Churchill
