I'm doing my first OD tri at Byron Bay next month. I'm thinking it might be a wetsuit swim but I don't own one. I don't want to spend the money to go out and buy one at this stage either.
I know I could probably cope without it but it would be good to have one.

It is probably a bit of a long shot asking, but I thought I would try.
I would need to borrow it for one weekend (9 May - 11 May) and would be happy to pay some sort of loan fee + leave a deposit. I am a ladies size 10 and 167cm tall.

Byron will absolutely positively be a wetty swim. Usually a fairly decent and honest 1500m swim there.

Try transitions as well.

i'd lend your mine no probs Sunset but it might...ahem...swim on you :LOL: (my worst pun ever)... it might fit your partner though if he is doing it too?

Thanks for the offer PH :LOL:

This seems to be sorted out already. Surprisingly quickly!

Many thanks to Simone at Transitions (and Plazbot for suggesting that place). I nearly wasn't going to try there because I'm a bit of a newb there (lurk but don't post) but it turned out to be a winner! ;)
