Challenge sessions for your swim training

A challenge session is one where you go above and beyond what you normally do in your regular training or do something very different. Simon Griffiths is your guide!

We usually think about training as the preparation for some race, challenge or adventure that we want to complete.

I started Outdoor Swimmer in 2011 (initially as H2Open Magazine) as an outlet for my passion for swimming outdoors. I've been a swimmer and outdoor swimmer for as long as I remember. Swimming has made a huge difference to my life and I want to share its joys and benefits with as many people as possible. I am also the author of Swim Wild & Free: A Practical Guide to Swimming Outdoors 365 a Year, I provide one-to-one support to swimmers through Swim Mentoring and I'm the creator of the Renaissance Swimmer project.
