One concern would be that maybe your body would burn up muscle in order to preserve the insulating effect of fat. i would think that even being in relatively warm water (80 degrees) would burn calories since water is such an effective conductor of heat.

well i was always told sweating when its cold outside is a better workout than sweating when its hot outside. but clothing probly wouldnt be the same
