Outdoor Swimmer  |  August 19
In our summer issue we look at the revival of lidos and outdoor pools that continues to gain momentum despite political and financial challenges; we give you a race day rescue plan that will get you to the finish line no matter how little training you have done; Elaine Howley asks how far would you be willing to chase an impossible dream; and sports psychology consultant Helen Davis shows how to overcome self-doubt and succeed at your swim challenges.
And as always, we bring you inspiring stories, swim tips, gear reviews, stunning swim photography and the most comprehensive UK and international event listings to help you plan your summer swims.
