The May 'Gear' issue of Outdoor Swimmer is out now and available to order!

Need to know the best kit so you can get ready for the summer open water season? We tested swimsuits, two-pieces, jammers, trunks and shorts, wetsuits and shorties – find out our pick of the best in this month’s bumper issue of Outdoor Swimmer magazine.

Any idea what 10x100 off 1.45 means? Or that sheep have traditionally helped swimmers across the Channel? Learn all this and more, including how to swim in rough conditions, how not to be an “all the gear and no idea” swimmer and how many kinds of fog can scupper your swim plans.

In Travel we explore the Wye Valley, Ireland, Snowdonia and St Kitts and Nevis. And we take a behind-the-scenes glimpse at your swim kit, from its radical history to how modern brands are responding to the differing needs of swimmers.

Plus all the regulars, including health news, outdoor swimming news, training, swim locations, technique, event listings, book reviews and short story.
