about our courses

Since launching Outdoor Swimmer magazine in 2011, we’ve been immersed in the world of outdoor swimming. We’re passionate about sharing our love of the water and helping our readers make the most of swimming outdoors.

But sometimes you need more than words and images to make progress in your swimming.

That’s where our courses come in. We provide a mixture of live and recorded courses covering a wide range of outdoor swimming skills.
