Has anyone used one of these speedo fastskin suits in a triathlon?
What are the advantages and disadvantages?
I seems like it would reduce drag but not provide the bouyancy of a neoprene wetsuit.

I haven't used a fastskin suit, but I am much faster and use less energy over 3,800 meters in my wetsuit. The added bouyancy is a big advantage.

The time you would save with reduced drag in the fastskin suit may very well be lost changing in T1.
