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)?

I'm curious on what you think the water temps will be for the USA/USMS OW Championships in Ft. Meyers, FL on June 10-12, 2011 will be? I'd like to do the race but if it's going to be over 80F again it may difficult to get excited about.QUOTE]
The water temps will definitely be in the 80s, probably lower 80s though, unless the lake is spring fed. If so, it could be cooler.
YUK!
