Take the wetsuit challenge
2XU are so sure that their wetsuits are faster in the water than any other brand that they will lend you a suit to test on the main 750m loop in the lake. Swim in your suit, then swim in a 2XU suit and compare the times. Next visit you can swim the 2XU first and then swim in your old suit and we bet you'll join the growing number who, like pro athletes Richard Stannard and Emma Davis, are finding that 2XU's suits simply can't be beaten!
All sizes of suit are available to test but we may not have more than one of each size available at any one time to test. We will do our best to help you out and to date have not failed to supply anyone with a wetsuit. We generally operate a first come first served policy but please feel free to email us if you have any specific questions or enquiries.
