Do I need a wetsuit?

Tri-Kids: Wetsuits are permitted but not required. The swim is very short and we feel the experience will be better for the young ones if they move quickly from swim to bike without having to remove a wetsuit.

Fun Tri: Wetsuits optional. We’d estimate that about 50% of Fun Tri participants wear wetsuits for their swim. Wetsuits help with buoyancy for those less confident in the water and also provide greatest comfort in events earlier in the season when the water temperature is lower.

Sprint and Olympic: Wetsuits optional. We’d estimate that about 75% of the field wears a wetsuit for these swims, particularly for Olympic distance where you spend more time in the water.
