For emergency situations, it's necessary to be able to swim with your regular clothes on. It must be much harder. Is open water the only place where this can be trained?

I once went to the Sunday morning "women only" swim at the YWCA and saw a lot of women (presumably Muslim) swimming with long sweatpants and tee shirts on over top of swimsuits. Seems like a lot of wet cotton to drag around, but I suppose it could be good training for boating accidents.
