Wetsuit Testing - Try before you buy

If you are looking to improve your swim times, but also get the best experience out of your swim leg or your triathlon, we recommend that you get yourself kitted out with a decent wetsuit, so why not come down to the lake and try before you buy.

Wetsuit testing is charged at £15 per test and you can try as many wetsuits as you like in one session.

We will take off any testing money from that morning’s session on the purchase of a suit

We want to make sure that we offer you the best service available. Offering a wetsuit testing service is something that other stores are not able to provide.

Heron Lake is proud to be associated with the worlds best Manufacturers of wetsuits Orca, who will be on hand at the lake to try and test out the latest wetsuits on the market. There will also be an opportunity to try out Blue Seventy and Aquasphere wetsuits throughout the season.

Aquasphere is also the main supporter of swimming goggles. They are number one in open water swimming and triathlon swim accessories.

SBR SPORTS is the Official Retailer at the lake. They do not hire wetsuits for the season or one off events, as 99% of the time most people buy a wetsuit and use it, not only at the lake, but also for the whole season.
