Another reason for pools to be kept cooler than the water waders want: for the "shrinkage" factor. :p
If the issue is contours ("eww... he has boy parts", "eww... she has girl parts"), then just wear two suits. It'll smooth things out, especially if one of them is nylon instead of lycra. That was (is?) a standard thing to do (especially for water polo, where suits tend to get ripped).
Just like a women's 1-piece racing suit is nothing like a string bikini, a master's cut nylon suit (for men) is nothing like a lycra thong. Just remind people of that. Not all "speedos" were created equal.

Maybe you can explain an easy way that Phelps could shave down (for a big meet) by himself and still get his back. And it has to be a razor: part of the advantage of shaving is sensitizing the skin.
