An open-water or pool race. Cut-offs, wave starts and wetsuit policy come from the organiser. Never treat a listing time as a guarantee of water conditions.
Course maps, start lists, cut-offs, prices and eligibility live on the official page. We do not copy those documents. If a fact here disagrees with the organiser, the organiser is right.
