Subject: 65 degree water - sleeveless wetsuit?
I have a sleeveless wetsuit for an upcoming race, and am wondering whether it will be sufficient for 65 degree water (which is the estimate from the race directors). I am concerned only about warmth and not about buoyancy. I have a personal preference for sleeveless, but don't want to risk getting too cold. Advice? (It is a Sprint -- .25 mi lake swim). Thanks!

I have gone down to the mid-50s in my sleeveless (I didn't LOVE it, but didn't die). At 65, you'll be fine.

Personally I would swim without a wetsuit in 65 degree water. The sleevless will be fine.
