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?

Just T-shirts and shorts may not be too much of challenge. That is for when you are jumping in the water to rescue someone, so you may have the few seconds to take off your outerwear and maybe shoes. What if you accidentally fall into a river with bulky winter coat on? Anyone practiced that?:drown:
