triathletes do; swimmers don't.
Here's a swimmer who does where one when the water's too cold. I know the real purists train themselves to swim in cold water and I'm right impressed with that. However, as I do all my swim training in relatively hot pools in Arizona, you can bet I'll be racing in a wetsuit if the water's too cold (by my standards).
Now, having said that, I tend to enter races primarily where the water is warmish because life's too short to freeze.
Caveat: I live in Arizona and even find our winters here too cold!
Bring on the heat.
