Water Temp v wetsuit

Tried my new wetsuit out at the Y. Water temp around 80. Works very well, but too warm to do much of a workout. Question: What water temp would be the line for wetsuit or no wetsuit? Is there a temp set by the event?

    I wouldnt take the wetsuit in the pool other than that one time trying it bc chlorine significantly shortens its life. you may know that already. As far as cutoff temps I agree with the other poster...different for everyone. I swam in 68 water/50 air last weekend and felt really cold after a half hour. To others that's no big deal.
