I am not even sure that is the actual rule. I would check with USAT Head Official Charlie Crawford to get the definitive answer regardless.

From their FAQ on the race website:

QUESTION: Can we wear wetsuits during the swim in the draft legal triathlon event?
ANSWER: If the water temperature is 71.6 F or less you may wear a wet suit during the swim portion of the triathlon. If the water temperature is above 71.6 F you may wear a skin suit – BUT – the skin suit must be worn throughout the entire event (including during the bike and run). An official water temperature will be announced race morning.
Water temperature as of 10/21 was 77 F.

Dont ruin your Torque, DeSoto makes a swim skin/race suit. Just about as fast as top line skins, but no issues and made to be rode and run in..

I tested most of these suits back in the day, they are in the archives here somewhere, but of course older models now. Your Torque came out on top, the DeSoto was only about a second a 100 slower. It really came down to fit on a lot of the suits, keep them tight and they swim out pretty good..

I second the Desoto suit. I wore the 2016 Liftfoil at Omaha for the Olympic AG Nationals race and had no issues on the bike and run. The 2016 Liftfoil is currently on sale, also.

Just get a Kiwami or Desoto ITU style kit and do the entire race in that. Heck I still see the Kiawmi's being used as swim skins in 70.3/IM races now and then
