With the water temperature at Whittlingham currently measuring 22.5°C (as of 7 July), and considering the latest weather forecast, it is highly unlikely that wetsuits will be required for the 2026 Open Water Championships on 12 July.
Reminder to all swimmers entered in the 2026 Open Water Championships:
If you have not yet completed your medical declaration form, please ensure this is submitted by Sunday 12 July.
Thank you for your cooperation and prompt attention to this requirement.
