Wetsuits
Wetsuits are compulsory if the water temperature is below 15°C. Above this temperature wetsuits are optional. PLEASE NOTE: It is quite possible that wetsuits will be compulsory on May 23rd

The maximum distance competitors are allowed to swim may be limited if the water temperature is low. If you intend using a wetsuit but have never worn one to swim in before it is recommended that you ensure that it is suitable for swimming and that you practice in it before the event – it will modify your stroke and you will find out why you need petroleum jelly and where to put it!
