The water temperature will be measured by a commission comprised of an appointed Referee, a representative of the LOC, and a representative from one of the teams participating in the race, who is designated during the Technical/ Team Leaders’ Meeting.

Оригінал · діє при розбіжності

At the Olympic Games and World Aquatics Events, the representative of the LOC will be the appointed Safety Officer.

Оригінал · діє при розбіжності

The water temperature will be measured two (2) hours before the start of the race at three points (selected by the commission for the Olympic Games and World Aquatics Events) around the course at a depth of 40 cm. The water temperature will be recorded as the average of the three temperatures measured.

Оригінал · діє при розбіжності

If the water temperature is measured at below 16.0°C or above 31.0°C, the Chief Referee will, in consultation with the appointed Safety Officer and Medical Officer, determine whether and if so when to re-measure the water temperature, whether to delay the start of the race, and/or whether to postpone and/or cancel the event, depending on the conditions and the circumstances.

Оригінал · діє при розбіжності

For all races the Safety Officer will measure the water temperature ten (10) minutes prior to the race start and at thirty (30) minute intervals after the start of the race for the duration of the race in positions selected by the commission. All measurements and positions will be recorded and communicated to the Chief Referee and Medical Officer.

Оригінал · діє при розбіжності

If the water temperature is measured at below 16.0°C or above 31.0°C at any measuring interval during the race, the race will continue if so decided by the Chief Referee, and the water temperature will be measured again 30 minutes later. If the water temperature remains below 16.0°C or above 31.0°C, the Chief Referee will stop the race and follow the process in Article 4.6 of this Part Three. The race will only be restarted if the water temperature is between 16.0°C and 31.0°C. The decision to restart the race will be at the absolute discretion of the Chief Referee in accordance with Article 12.2.3.4 of this Part Three.
