Outdoor Swimmer’s first trends report, published in February 2021, revealed the importance swimmers put on their activity as a means of supporting their mental health and general wellbeing.
The magazine’s second survey exploring trends in outdoor swimming is now live and includes new questions on access to swimming locations and concerns about water quality. Trends in Outdoor Swimming #2 will be published early in 2022 and aims to.. ‘break new ground in our understanding of the relevance of outdoor swimming in people’s lives.’
The findings from Trends in Outdoor Swimming #1 were shared with parliamentarians, policy makers and national governing bodies. This sought to influence their thinking on why they should support and encourage outdoor swimming and how they should do so.
To encourage swimmers to complete the latest survey, Outdoor Swimmer has lined up an array of prizes. In addition, anyone completing the survey will be able to download a free copy of Trends in Outdoor Swimming #1.
