Need recommendation for keeping warm in a cold pool

03HDX

I am a 68 year old triathlete who works out in our local university (UCSC) pool. I have Raynauds syndrome and very slender (5’4”,  105lbs). I freeze in our pool which is kept at about 80 degrees year round. I would love to find a 3 mil shorty wetsuit but can only find 1 and 2 mil. I do fine if the water temp is 83. Don’t want to leave this gorgeous 50 meter out door pool. Any suggestions greatly appreciated

    I swim outdoors all year in an 80 degree pool too. I bought a sleeveless wetsuit top to wear when the temp is 50 or below. - it seems to help quite a bit. I can stop without shivering and my fingers don't get numb in the cold.  I also wear a TYR Warm  cap- it keeps my head warmer than silicone caps. May try a long sleeve wetsuit top for below 40 weather :-)
