### 5/5 — Outdoor Swimmer Magazine

*2020-01-27*

I love this magazine - full of tips, stories, technical info, gear and trip reviews, inspiration and even a bit of science and history. I love the paper version but I also like having it to hand on my phone. So if I am ever stuck somewhere having to wait, on public transport or anywhere, I can indulge in some Outdoor Swimmer reading. Like the menudo I can slip directly to what I want to read too.

### 5/5 — Great publication

*2018-01-23*

### 5/5 — A great read.

*2016-04-10*

H20 is a great magazine, very informative for the open water swimmer.

### 5/5 — Like having a library at my finger tips

*2015-01-20*

I love reading the magazine in its paper format and there are things I like to come back to. By having the digital format I can use it like a reference library without having to empty my wardrobe and search for the right edition or article.

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2015-01-12*

Admittedly there is no competition, but there's good stuff to read and I think it will continue to get better as more people subscribe.

### 4/5 — Great read for all abilities

*2015-01-05*

H2Open is a interesting read with plenty of interest for all open water swimmers. Unlike some sport magazines it isn't full of adverts for needless kit and nutrition!

### 5/5 — Excellent resource

*2014-12-15*

The go-to mag for open water swimmers, full of useful tips and interesting features. Excellent product reviews, and a handy Events calendar, bringing together diverse open water events in one place. Recommended.

Superb magazine for all open water swimmers

### 5/5 — Superb mag!
