I hope you enjoy this video, I'm always thinking up new subjects for videos, so if you have an idea for one, I'd love to read it in the comments.

Outdoor swimming is a fantastic activity to get involved in, but sometimes just getting started can be challenging - what to wear, where to go, who to do it with are all questions that my playlist “Get Involved with Outdoor Swimming” addresses https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrBM9GuZgXX6dGkhGdXU1TPD2N69EA_UU

The Outdoor Swimming community is extremely diverse and welcoming and there are new friends waiting to meet you. Hope to see you in the water sometime soon. Everyday Athlete is my vlog about getting active in the great outdoors. I make videos about outdoor activities such as swimming, snowboarding, running, bike riding which hopefully encourage other people to get involved. I upload videos weekly on a Tuesday morning in the UK.
