Plus, the best swimsuits for all bodies |
The new 'Gear' issue of Outdoor Swimmer is out now and available to order!
In this month’s bumper issue we have 16 pages of gear reviews. Our team has tested swimsuits, two-pieces, jammers, trunks and shorts, wetsuits and shorties – testing the latest products so you can enter the summer open water season with the best kit for your swimming.
Did you know there are five
different types of fog? Or that sheep have traditionally helped swimmers across the Channel by producing a key ingredient of Channel Grease? Learn all this and more, including how to decipher training jargon, swim in rough conditions and how not to be an “all the gear and no idea” swimmer.
We take a behind-the-scenes glimpse at your swim kit, from
its history to how modern brands are responding to the differing needs of swimmers. And we explore the Wye Valley, Ireland, Snowdonia and St Kitts and Nevis.
Plus all the regulars, including health news, outdoor swimming news, training, swim locations, technique, travel, event listings, book reviews and short story.
Whether you’re looking for spaghetti strap training suits or more modest coverage, body positive styles or longer lengths, or perhaps bonded fabrics, Yulex or silver-lining
for warmth, we have found your next swimsuit!
