Trisuit Newbie Qs
I'm shopping for tri suits, & I have a few questions for the pros.
1. I feel like I want a two piece if for no other reason than easier bathroom breaks. Is there a reason I should more seriously consider a one piece?
2. My tri in June is a sprint, & the swim is in a pool - would a tri suit be ok in a chlorinated pool? My second in July is an open water Olympic.
3. As a first timer, is it ridiculous for me to wear a tri suit in the first place? If so, what would you suggest?
Any and all suggestions are welcome 
. I feel like tris are a whole new ball game when it comes to equipment.

One pieces are really comfortable. I don't do tris, but I love my cycling skinsuits.
2. My tri in June is a sprint, & the swim is in a pool - would a tri suit be ok in a chlorinated pool? My second in July is an open water Olympic. Sure, why not? It's like a bathing suit (sort of).
3. As a first timer, is it ridiculous for me to wear a tri suit in the first place? If so, what would you suggest? Nope, wear whatever is comfortable!

Thanks for all of the help!
I was concerned about the pool, because I had heard it could break down the felt/chamois in the short. I didn't hear that from a very credible source, though, so I'm glad to hear differently from all of you.
I would be really annoyed if I have to go to the bathroom during a race, but I wouldn't mind being prepared. Weird post-baby stuff.
I will go try a few on and see what feels comfy & what holds in my little low-tummy baby pooch the best
. An extra body glide will make its way to the checkout as well!
