Simon Griffiths finished his 10th year in executing his vision for promoting open water swimming via the Outdoor Swimmer Magazine.
About
Simon Griffiths finished a decade as the publisher of Outdoor Swimmer, the world’s first and only printed magazine fully dedicated to open water swimming. He is relentless in his appreciation for the sport: as a lifestyle, as a healthful exercise and competition that challenges the mind and body, as an activity that is shared with a profound level of camaraderie that crosses borders, ages, abilities, and cultures.
Why he was nominated
For identifying a vacuum in the open water swimming market, for providing and packaging an authoritative magazine, and for constantly promoting the niche disciplines of open water swimming in an entertaining, informative bundle – sometimes from the first-person perspective – on a monthly basis.
