The 2010 SA Triathlon Champs was ruled as a no wetsuit swim with the water temperature recorded one hour before the start as being 22.4 degrees Celsius – only .4 degree above limit. However one EC athlete accompanied the official doing the measurement and noted that it was taken from the Jetty in shallow (warmer) water, and not in the middle of the course (deeper, cooler water) as required in the rules:-
Water temperature must be taken one (1) hour prior to the start of the event on race day. It must be taken at the middle of the course and in two other areas on the swim course, at a depth of 60 cm. The lowest measured temperature will be considered as the official water temperature.
