		<description><![CDATA[H2Open, the World’s first dedicated open water swimming magazine, has joined forces with seven race organisers to create Britain’s first National Open Water Swimming Ranking Series for 2012.

The concept is simple. Swimmers will have to complete three of the seven races to participate and will be awarded points based on their finishing position. The top swimmers in each age group will be crowned national champions at the end of the year. Race distances range from 1 mile to 5 km and take place in the sea, rivers and lakes around Britain.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Open water swimming can be great fun but it can only be fully appreciated if you are a strong swimmer, and this is achieved through training and advanced learning. As this can be a long process, the ASA want to help people along the way before they themselves go out to share the knowledge they have gained.

If you are a confident swimmer, why not start by helping lead some of the swimmer groups in our Club sea swims! And if you are keen to develop a career helping others to swim, the ASA runs a series of seminars on continuing professional development. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It doesn't take much to get club leaders Ali and Stuart swimming in open water, particularly when we mentioned celebrity chef Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall would be cooking up some tasty carb-loading dishes after a 3km river swim at Wareham. 

Ali and Stuart were part of a group of open water swimmers featured in an episode of River Cottage Veg. Vegetarian triathlete Colin Hill (of <a href="http://www.greatswim.org" target="_blank">Great Swim</a> fame), Ali, Stuart and the swimmers tackled the snacks with gusto. There's also footage of Colin and Stuart competing in the 2011 10km Dart Swim.]]></description>
