The swim at Finger Lakes Triathlon Cayuga
This is an open water swim at Cayuga Lake.
From the organizer's own race information. Venues and rules can change from year to year; the race's current athlete guide decides.
Water temperature and wetsuits at Finger Lakes Triathlon Cayuga
Around July 25, Cayuga Lake typically runs about 78°F at the surface (76 to 80°F across 2011 to 2020). Wetsuits are usually legal, but in warmer years the water topped 78°F, when wearing one makes you ineligible for age-group awards.
A model estimate from the USGS lake temperature model (daily surface temperatures for US lakes), not a measurement. Wetsuit cutoffs are USA Triathlon age-group rules. The race's own water temperature reading on race morning decides.
