I am planing to do a race soon and the water temperature is around 15-16 degress celsius so i was thinking if there is any chance the swim is modified? Does anyone know what is the minimum water temperature (with a wetsuit) for the full distance Ironman swim to go as planned? and is there any rule when the swim is canceled or modified ? any extreme, recent examples of swims in low temperature?
52 degrees or below and swim will be cancelled. So about 11 Celsius.
At that temp there should be no worries. Back in the day…not a chance…even recently the past few years, still plenty warm
