Wild in the City! Sneak preview of the January issue of Outdoor Swimmer
Think of wild swimming and the mind conjures up remote Scottish lochs and beautiful secluded bays, yet not all of us are lucky enough to live out in the wilds. In this issue’s urban travel special we explore the outdoor swimming spots of Berlin and follow a swimmer on her marathon swim around New York.
As we near the end of 2019, it is time to start planning your ‘New Year, New Adventures’ with our pick of must-do swims for 2020. Plus, how to plan a sea swim, training aids on test, the fastest way to turn around a buoy, ice swimming, the history of multi-Channel crossings, wildlife, how to reduce sanitary product waste in our seas, swimmers influenced by water to change their lives, swimming in volcanoes…
This issue we also introduce a new feature, Swim Life, about swimmers who have been inspired by water to create products, artworks or to change their life completely. If this is you, get in touch – we would love to share your story.
