Matt,
if the organisers don't insist (depending on distance, temperature, etc.) then it's up to you. But I swam in a wetsuit for the first time last night & it makes an INCREDIBLE difference! Granted I swim like a brick and the better you are the less difference it makes, but it was a revelation for me! You could always hire one or buy second hand to lower costs.

I used triuk.com and they were very fast and helpful.
Im entering my first triathlon in september, it's the rough tracks one organised by mens health magazine being held at Eton.
I have all the gear i need for the bike and run however, the only wetsuit i own is from 10 years ago and is very tight to the point it is difficult to breath.
Trouble is i can't really afford a new one any time soon, so i was wondering would it be a bad idea to do the open water swim without one, perhaps in one of those lycra tri suits i have seen advertised?
Cheers Guys
