Do I have to wear a wet suit?

The wearing of wetsuits in triathlon is governed by British Triathlon rules and is totally dependent on water temperature (and sometimes air temperature) one hour before the start of the event.

Wetsuits assist with buoyancy and warmth, so we strongly recommend that you wear one if they are optional. We will keep you updated with water temperature as we get closer to the event, with final confirmation provided on the day of the event. If in any doubt that the temperature will be warm enough, please bring a wetsuit along to the event. The final decision will be made by the Technical Official on race day.
