The 2016 Olympic Year in Review ships November 15th.
We agonized over who to put on the cover and ultimately went with Michael Phelps. We had to. His contribution to swimming is immeasurable, and he is retiring. So, Phelps it is.
SOME SPECIAL FEATURES IN THIS ISSUE INCLUDE:
- the Michael Phelps Farewell section
- a massive 2016 Year In Review
- history-maker spotlights
- a U.S. Olympic Coach Debrief
- the Top 20 Age Groupers of the Year
- several data features (top secret), and much, much more
As always, our magazines are massive. The 2016 Olympic Year in Review comes in at 172 pages. (That’s an increase of 40 pages over the 2015 Year in Review, which came in at 132 pages.)
As always, the quality is high. SwimSwam Magazine has perfect binding, like a book, heavy card stock, and an expensive cover finish you have to feel in your hands to truly appreciate. Like the featured image above, SwimSwam Magazine is more like a coffee table book than a magazine.
Driving deep on this issue, we honor all of your favorite swim stars, Katie Ledecky, Ryan Murphy, Maya DiRado, Simone Manuel, Penny Oleksiak, Adam Peaty, Missy Franklin, Joseph Schooling, Anthony Ervin and many, many more.
