Outdoor Swimmer  |  November 20
Are you interested in learning more about cold water swimming? Has new research promoting its mental and physical health benefits tempted you to take the plunge? This month's Outdoor Swimmer is a cold water special: Ella Foote meets the force of nature that is Wim Hof, the famed Ice Man, to learn about his method that promises to give you more energy, less stress and a stronger immune system; we are very excited to announce our new monthly columnist, record-breaking English Channel 4-way swimmer Sarah Thomas – Sarah's first column explores her love of cold water; and we answer everything you ever wanted to know about cold water swimming – but were too afraid to ask!
If cold water isn't your thing and you are looking to keep fit on limited pool time, triple Olympian Keri-anne Payne has three training sessions to get you faster and fitter. And Rowan Clarke braves the dark to tell us how to safely enjoy night swimming.
