B2P Sports, Windsor's Multi-Sport Store have teamed up with openwaterswim.co.uk to give all swimmers the fantastic opportunity to try out any wetsuit in the 2XU range including the T:2, R:1, V:2 and even the new Project:X2!
During the summer months there is the opportunity to swim nearly every day of the week in open water!
As well as the open water swimming sessions there is an aquathlon race series which runs through the summer months.
Once you have signed in at the OPEN WATER SWIM RECEPTION and received your numbered band, please visit the B2P wetsuit tent where you will be asked to complete a 'Wetsuit Rental Registration Form'
We believe that the only true way of knowing if a wetsuit fits well and is comfortable is to test it out in the water, after all that's where you are going to be using it!
