🏊♂️ Understanding the outdoor swimming world 🏊♂️ Over the years we've seen huge changes in outdoor swimming including massive growth in participation, the emergence of winter swimming as a serious activity, to growing concerns about water quality. At Outdoor Swimmer, we track trends in outdoor swimming through our regular Attitudes to Outdoor Swimming survey. We then produce a Trends report, which we share with businesses, governing bodies, and other interested organisations. Our 2024/25 survey is now live. Please take a few minutes to share your views. If you have an audience of swimmers, please also consider sharing the survey with them. And if you'd like a copy of the report when it's done, let us know. Thank you! https://lnkd.in/e8Sjbx5r ZONE3 Ltd ZOGGS Swim England STA (Swimming Teachers' Association)
