What is the water condition like?
Water condition in March, April and May is very good with minimal swell, excellent visibility and a temperature of 26 °C. What are the considerations for a swimmer who gets in trouble during the event? Swimmers in difficulty shall signal by raising an arm to the escorting boats/canoes for assistance. Once assistance is rendered, the competitor must retire from the competition. Are wetsuits permitted? No, wetsuits are not allowed. Are there any jelly fish in the swim? We expect good water conditions and no jelly fish. In case you do get stung, be assured that the medical team is prepared to treat any kind of jelly fish stings. What can I do to prevent jelly fish stings? There is no 100% remedy to getting stung. Covering your skin with lycra swim wear or using protective lotion (e.g. Safe Sea lotion) reduces the chance of jelly fish stings.
