Love swimming, leave next to the sea but could do with a simple and thin wetsuit/swimsuit.
Any recommendations around the £100 mark?
Alpkits look really well thought out but Xl is not in stock at the moment

I've got an entry level Huub wetsuit for triathlons and have done some sea swimming in it. Would recommend. It was a Wiggle exclusive one and picked up for about £100 in a sale but I think RRP was a bit more.
Huub also sell ex-demo/ex-display on their site and if you get lucky with sizing you can get some bargains. They grade them from as new to repaired etc but IMO are very conservative. Got my wife a really good suit that was supposed to be a grade C and when it arrived it had a tiny finger mark that had been glued that you could easily have done trying it on first time. Otherwise it was mint and was over 50% off.
Also quite handy to have a neoprene swim hat - i found it easier to do front crawl properly if your heads not too cold whilst in the water.
I got a supposed ex-hire wetsuit from a triathlon company based in Devon or Cornwall. They hire out wetsuiys for the triathlon season and sell at end of year. My suit had clearly never been used!
