Wetsuits will not be allowed in the 10k races at U.S. Open Water Nationals in Castaic Lake after the lake was recorded at 69 degrees Fahrenheit at 9:30 a.m. local time Friday morning, just 90 minutes before the men’s race was scheduled to get underway.<\/p>\n

According to a new rule passed by FINA and adopted by USA Swimming<\/a>, wetsuits would have been optional at temperatures below 68 and required if the water was colder than 64.4 degrees, but the lake warmed up just enough to surpass that threshold.<\/p>\n

Some coaches and swimmers had been concerned<\/a> about the potentially chilly water and the last-minute changes to the\u00a0wetsuit rule (announced less than two weeks before the race), but those concerns are avoided with the race-day temperature reading.<\/p>\n

Click here<\/a> to see the entry lists for Friday’s 10k races.\u00a0The men’s race will take place at 11 a.m. PT and the women’s at 1 p.m., and full recaps will be available on\u00a0Swimming World\u00a0<\/em>after the races conclude.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
