Open swimming is good for climate change
Beginners doing their first mass participation race
H2Open magazine is a new publication for anyone who loves open water swimming whether they’re a beginner doing their first mass participation race, an experienced veteran taking on a long-distance challenge, or simply someone looking for a beautiful place to take a dip. And as it doesn’t use expensive to heat pools, the sport is extremely carbon efficient.
As well as regular features on training, nutrition, iconic swim locations, classic swims and the latest training and racing gear, the magazine has race listings, news from the world of open water swimming and interviews with open water swimming heroes, starting in the first issue with UK 10km marathon swimming champion.
It also has a panel of experts to answer swimming related questions.
While people have swum outside for millennia, the sport has really taken off in the last few years. Thousands of people now regularly join mass-participation swimming events across the UK and around the world – a massive 20,000 are expected at British Gas’ Great North Swim in June.
Numbers look set to grow as more races become available and continuous improvements in modern wetsuit technology free swimmers from the constriction of old-fashioned diving wetsuits and provide the buoyancy and warmth needed to give comfort and security in the water. The magazine will provide these swimmers with all the information they seek on races, training and gear.
