The event will begin with a 2km open sea swim from the classic triathlon location of Figueretas Beach.  

This is a well-protected beach where waves are unlikely, but swimming will favor those athletes accustomed to navigating ocean waters. 

The water temperature will likely allow the use of wetsuits, which will benefit those whose main strength is cycling and running, unless the temperature exceeds the 22°C threshold, which would make wetsuits prohibited.
