I was just informed that I would be disqualified for resting on a kayak in an open water swim event. I'm using these as a training tool for my Ironman. Was wondering what people's opinions were. What if someone had a cramp or needed to clear goggles or decided to take in nutrition? Looking forward to hearing your responses.

If you need to rest, please do, nobody will mock you. Finish the swim and be proud. But, you should be disqualified, forward progress or not.
