Jonathan Cowie

Description

Jonathan Cowie brings a lifelong passion for outdoor swimming and cold water immersion to every session he leads. Known for swimming year-round in nothing more than trunks, a hat, and goggles, he has built a deep appreciation for the physical and mental benefits of time in open water. For seven years, he served as Editor of Outdoor Swimmer magazine, helping to champion the growth of outdoor swimming and share its appeal with a wide and varied audience.

An STA Level 2 Open Water Swimming coach, Jonathan enjoys introducing swimmers to the joys of swimming outdoors, whether through marathon swimming, cold water dipping, swimrun, or adventure swimming. He has competed in winter swimming events around the world and co-founded The Swimmer, a half-marathon featuring four cold water swims across London. He also co-founded Blue Mind Men, a men’s cold water swim club created to support better mental and physical health.
