  John 21 (NIV)
  
  7Then the disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord!" As soon as Simon Peter heard him say, "It is the Lord," he wrapped his outer garment around him (for he had taken it off) and jumped into the water. 8The other disciples followed in the boat, towing the net full of fish, for they were not far from shore, about a hundred yards.[b] 9When they landed, they saw a fire of burning coals there with fish on it, and some bread.

  So why did the Apostle Peter wear his clothes to swim?

  He wasn't naked. At the most only upper body bare.
  
  The verse says very clearly he took them off, that's why he put them on again.

  Hmm.. ok.
  But I think it was common that they fished naked during those times. they had to jump in and out of water.
