Can I stop during the swim? Yes, you can float on your back and hang on to kayak if needed. The lake offers some of the cleanest water around and features 67 to 72-degree water temperatures in June. Wetsuits are encouraged for safety but are not mandatory. You will have a short run from the water exit to the transition area.

Drafting: Drafting is illegal at the California Triathlons. We ask for your help in doing the best we can to help enforce the “NO DRAFTING” rules. You, the athlete, are the simplest and best way to keep the bike course safe and draft-free. We will have officials out on the bike course, but you personally need to help the sport and yourself by simply backing out of packs, slowing down or verbally mentioning to other athletes not to draft.
