Mon Mar 18, 2013 3:36 pm

Looking into getting into open water swimming as getting bored of swimming in swimming pools, been looking at wetsuits are there any recommendations got a budget of £100 to £200 could spend more but trying not to.

I used to swim a lot when I was younger but haven't done open water swimming. Are you thinking of something like this?...

Yeah, Speedo is a top brand obviously but this one is a tri-event wetsuit which caters for what you need. I'm not sure you'd have the very best there but you'd have something that works. Maybe find one that zips from the front if you find that easier.
