Started off by bursting zip on suit and having to do the walk of shame up the hil with out even geting wet! Borrowed broter in laws suit which was a Tesco (wallmart) special. First 100m okay - then ... breaststroke for the rest and even that was bad. couldn't stretch out and was a real hard swim. Survival stuff. Chated with life guard in canoe most the way round as I was last in the wave I had joined in with.

Mmmm... Everything! No, get a suit that doesn't break.
