Swimming journeys – July issue of Outdoor Swimmer Magazine
Journeys can take many forms. In the July issue of Outdoor Swimmer Magazine adventurer Alastair Humphreys tells how his account of busking across Spain became a personal memoir of a life lived adventurously; ‘Urban Mermaid’ Lindsey Cole recounts her tale of dipping to Scotland, meeting swimmers via social media as she cycled the length of the country; travel writer Patrick Scott tells of a sacred swim in the river Ganges; and reader Sarah Hicks writes about her journey from wetsuit to skins swimmer.
If you are taking on a long-distance challenge, our regular Olympian contributor Cassie Patten gives you top tips on how to recover from a 10km swim. Guest coach Keri-anne Payne continues her series on correct technique, this month looking at body position and rotation. And we have outdoor training session ideas to help you swim in a pack and advice to help you overcome any fears you have of the open water.
Whether you are a wild dipper, marathon swimmer or just love escaping into the great outdoors, grab a copy of our July issue for some summer swimspiration. Subscribe now and save 21% on the cover price.
