The swim at Green Lake Triathlon - Family Weekend
This is an open water swim at Green Lake. The organizer's wetsuit note: wetsuits allowed when water temperature is 78 degrees or less.
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 Green Lake Triathlon - Family Weekend
Around August 15, the 164-acre lake nearest the race typically runs about 76°F at the surface (72 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; matched to the largest lake near the race's listed location, about 0.2 km away. Wetsuit cutoffs are USA Triathlon age-group rules. The race's own water temperature reading on race morning decides.
