Of all the open water swims around the world, is there a race where there is a maximum allowable water temperature? If so (or if not), what is the scientific information or medical guidelines for a maximum allowable water temperature for open water swims (non-wetsuit)?

interesting question.
i know of a few lakes in the south that have had incidents of deadly brain eating amoeba at temperatures above 80 F. other than that, i would think that air quality would be an important factor in determining weather a "warm water event" would pose a risk to the safety of swimmers.
