The swim at Playtri Fort Worth Triathlon & Run-Bike-Run II.

This is an open water swim at Marine Creek Reservoir. The organizer's wetsuit note: wetsuit use decided race morning by water temperature under USAT rules; in the past the temperature allowed wetsuits.

From the organizer's own race information (source). Venues and rules can change from year to year; the race's current athlete guide decides.

Water temperature and wetsuits at Playtri Fort Worth Triathlon & Run-Bike-Run II.

Around October 3, Marine Creek Reservoir typically runs about 77°F at the surface (73 to 83°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.
