Effect of water temperature on swimmers’ body temperature tested at V&A Waterfront
On request of the Discovery World Triathlon Cape Town team, the Sports Science Institute of South Africa conducted a trial to monitor the effect of the water temperature in the V&A Waterfront’s Quay 6 basin (the event’s swim venue) on swimmers’ body temperature.
The trial was overseen by Professor Tim Noakes and saw 9 swimmers complete a swim course of 1 500m.
