This fantastic prize gives you everything you need to get started in open water swimming including a wetsuit, swim cap, some goggles and a bag to store it all in.

The most important piece of kit you need, and the most expensive bit, is your wetsuit. Speedo’s STR Comp wetsuit, worth £210, is specially designed for those just starting out in open water swimming.

Not only will it provide you with buoyancy and thermal protection with 4mm insulation thickness, it’ll speed you up thanks to the low water absorption and smoothskin surface that reduces resistance.

You’ll also win Speedo’s STR Pro swimcap which is ideal for open water as it’s made from 3mm seamless neoprene. The Biofuse® Rift goggle is a hybrid mask with SpeedoBiofuse® technology for maximum visibility and comfort. The ultra anti-fog impregnated lenses provide excellent clarity and offer UV protection.

Finally you will also win a rucksack to store all your gear in. It’s packed with features including a handy removable wet/dry bag and for triathletes there’s even a transition mat for changing during a race.
