Simon Griffiths is launching the first open water swimming magazine called H2Open Magazine in February 2011. This exciting moment in open water swimming history coincides with the growth in mass participation events around the world and especially in the United Kingdom.

As Simon writes, “The numbers look set to grow as modern wetsuit technology…provides the buoyancy and warmth needed to give comfort and security in the water.”

H2Open Magazine will provide articles and in-depth reporting on races, training and gear. In the first issue, contents include a Q&A with Keri-Anne Payne and articles including Build Your Base that deals with winter training to build endurance, Beat The Cold that describes tips and tricks as the water temperature drops, Beginners Guide To Open Water Swimming that explains the why’s, where’s and how’s of the sport.

H2Open Magazine will also include content on iconic swim locations, classic long-distance swims and the best lidos in the UK.
