Join Outdoor Swimmer with our NEW membership
Free swims, pool parties, free live webinars, a members-only community app, discounts on courses and outdoor swimming goodies… We’re much more than an independent, expert-led magazine! Find out what benefits you get when you join our inclusive, global community.
One of our favourite things about outdoor swimming is the community. Whether you’re dipping for better wellbeing, taking part in your first event, or preparing to swim the channel, it’s the swimmers and supporters around you who help get you there.
The same goes for Outdoor Swimmer – so we’ve updated our membership to reflect our vibrant, passionate, inclusive global community. Launching on February 24th, our new membership still has our wonderful magazine at its heart. And it has lots of extra benefits, bringing you more swimming benefits than ever before.
What’s new?
Free swims, a dedicated closed community app, and pool parties – these are all new benefits you can enjoy as part of an Outdoor Swimmer membership.
Our fabulous magazine remains at the heart. Gold members get ten beautiful print magazines a year and access to our full digital library. Silver members get the digitally optimised magazine and access to the digital library. Extra members can access all our premium content online.

You can also subscribe to our free weekly newsletter The Dip. Subscribers also get weekly news, information on our magazine, products and membership, competitions, gear round-ups and carefully selected offers from our favourite swimming brands.
Our new community app
Once you join Outdoor Swimmer, you’ll be able to access all your benefits in one place, with our new closed community, including:
- Virtual Events Series webinars
- Pool Parties
- Free swims
- Exclusive discounts and competitions
- Community chats
- Member news and information
The best bit is that it’s totally customisable – you can select which chats you join, and turn notifications and alerts on and off at any time.
Get free swims and events
We’re all here because we love outdoor swimming. Outdoor Swimmer members get free tickets to our webinar Q&As as part of our Virtual Event Series and to our Pool Parties, new for 2026.
Members could also win a free swim in our monthly draw. Every month, we’ll pick five members to win a free swim at an event or venue. Find out more here.
