Due to freak weather, I did my last sprint tri of 2019 in water that was in the 60's. I thought that was a one-time accident. I just did my latest sprint tri yesterday and ... due to freak weather the water was in the 60s again. Probably 2/3 of the athletes were in wetsuits. I have not worn a wetsuit since the olden days when I was doing 70.3. Back then, it took so long to get off that I would never consider it for a sprint.
What do you think for a 400 meter open water swim in 65 degree water?
Does anyone make a wetsuit that is more "suited" for a sprint? Something very fast to get off?

- Would you wear a wetsuit for a slow swimmer (I'm around 1:30 per 100 in a pool)?
- Would you wear a wetsuit for a slower swimmer (LOML is more like 2:30 per 100 in a pool)?
