We finished designing the 2016 Olympic Preview Issue. We mail the issue later this week. United States subscribers receive by the end of May. International subscribers receive by mid-June, well in advance of the Olympic Games. Here are 6 Reasons to Love SwimSwam’s 2016 Olympic Preview Issue:
1 – Michael Phelps in nothing but gold
Michael Phelps. In gold. How do you like that gold leaf background and the interesting camera angle of Phelps’ world-famous pre-start arm-flap?
2 – Collector’s Item
I own the 1972 Life Magazine cover of Mark Spitz. That issue was their preview for the 1972 Olympic Games in Munich where Spitz went on to win 7 for 7 gold medals, the most in history at that time. The magazine – the cover – is iconic. That’s what we’re going for with the Olympic Preview, an issue you will want to keep forever.
3 – It is 196 pages
Pictured above, see our first three issues. The premiere issue was 132 pages. The 2016 Swimsuit Issue is 172 pages, and The Olympic Preview is 196 pages! That’s 500 pages of swimming info, features and entertainment over our first three issues.
4 – The Olympic Encyclopedia
The 2016 Olympic Preview will have everything you need to know to fully understand and enjoy the U.S. Olympic Trials and the 2016 Olympic Games. It will be an encyclopedia of Olympic insider info every swim-fan will need to dive deeper on the biggest moment in sport.
5 – Insider Info
We are covering the U.S. Olympic Trials and Olympic Games behind the scenes like you have never seen it done before. Whether you’re at the events or watching on TV, the background information will add to your experience.
6 – So Many Profiles
Profiles on Olympic Hopefuls will be exact, fun and insightful. We’re reaching back and looking forward with a keen eye to enhance the drama which makes our sport so great. Katie Ledecky, Nathan Adrian, Ryan Lochte, Natalie Coughlin, Caeleb Dressel, Ryan Murphy, Missy Franklin and many, many more will be covered.
More Reasons to love SwimSwam Magazine:
We are lean on ads. Of the 196 pages in the Olympic preview, less than 19% of the issue is ads.
The 2016 Olympic Preview is, like all of our issues, a large format magazine, printed on thick paper that will stand up to your permanently pruned fingers.
If you haven’t subscribed, you simply don’t know. SwimSwam Magazine is not only higher quality, you feel it the instant you touch the magazine. The texture is amazing, and you’ll love how heavy it feels in your hand.
The 2016 Olympic Preview is just a hair under a pound. That’s a heavy magazine, certainly one you will want on your coffee table.
