An inspiring summer of swimming

Wowed by a summer of amazing swimming, Rowan Clarke meets the creator-completers of some of the most inspiring outdoor swims in the world

Were you inspired by watching the Olympic Marathon swimming last month? Ten captivating kilometres where the swimmers’ speed on the outward leg was more than twice as fast as when they were swimming against the current. Where swimmers had to follow the most current-free spot but also avoid the weeds on the bank.
