Water Temperature and Wetsuits
Under ITU and BTF ruling, wetsuits are banned when the water temperature is over 22 degrees to avoid overheating and for safety reasons. The current water temperature at Dorney Lake is 23.5 degrees so there is a good chance that wetsuits will NOT be allowed.

Accommodation
The Copthorne at Slough/Windsor still has few rooms available and is great value for a 4 Star hotel. The same rate also applies if you want to stay Friday or Saturday night and make a weekend of it. Contact: leanne.bennett@millenniumhotels.co.uk and ask for the triathlon rate.
