People who love exercising and the great outdoors rarely have a single hobby. This includes our wonderful community of open water swimmers.

For our “Ask the Community” series, we asked open water swimmers to share their second favorite outdoor activity. We received a wide range of answers with a few common activities that popped up again and again. According to the responses we received, trail running, running, and hiking seemed to be the most popular outdoor hobbies among open water swimmers, after open water swimming of course.
