You want 8-time Olympic medalist Nathan Adrian memorialized as a Superhero. Nathan’s a deep well of swimming success and knowledge, profiled by celebrated writer and author Kip Fulbeck.

All issues going forward will have a big theme, one topic we cover in-depth. For the Summer Preview issue, it’s the Superhero theme, why we swim. In the future, we’re searching for the best themes and topics we can find. If you have an idea, email us and share it.

In addition to breaking down why we swim with a Superhero point of view, the latest issue is also the Summer Preview. We go in-depth on everything you need to know for the 2017 summer season from the junior level to the elites.
