WETSUITS ARE MANDATORY


Need a wetsuit? - our swim event partners ZONE3 can help!

Wetsuits are mandatory for our open water swimming sessions, and if you plan to enter any open water triathlons or challenge swims in the UK, you'll probably find you need a suit. It's a rare UK event where the water is warm enough for wetsuits to be unnecessary!

If you are considering buying or hiring a wetsuit, please visit our Swim Partner Zone 3. We can highly recommend their range of wetsuits and accessories.
