Hi

The new 'Travel' issue of Outdoor Swimmer is out now and available to order! 

We loved putting together the April issue of Outdoor Swimmer – it really got us in the holiday mood! The new issue is a celebration of swimming and travelling – from a local day trip to wild and exciting adventures further afield. It also includes a Travel Guide supplement packed full of listings and holiday inspiration. We hope you love the new issue and that it gets you dreaming of long summer swims and exciting places to explore.

What's in the new issue?

We celebrate 21 years of swimming holidays – and find out how they can bring you more joy than ever before. Yaara Lahav Gregory, author of bestseller Night Swimming in the Jordan, takes us on a journey from the River Danube to the Jordan and the Dart. Find out how to take your front crawl outside and learn key skills to adapt to the open water. Paul Newsome, Head Coach at Swim Smooth, explains how to arrive on the startline of your overseas event in top condition – and marathon swimming icon Sarah Thomas gives her top tips on how to find the best (and safest) places to swim while travelling. 

We ask Olympic open water medallist Cassie Patten how to prevent cramp – and what to do if it strikes while you are swimming. What are the best open water and prescription goggles? We find out! And we speak to 73-year-old Jerrie Roberts, holder of the Guinness World Record for the oldest person to swim an ice mile. 

Plus, outdoor cooking, period swimwear on test, skinny dipping in Berlin, book reviews, community news, short story – and more!

The new issue also includes a ‘pull out and keep’ Travel Guide packed full of listings and inspiration for your own swimming travel dreams.
