Do I need to wear a wetsuit to swim?
Yes... and no.
Trifunctions don't offer thermal protection, but the buoyancy of a neoprene wetsuit is a plus for swimming. Good to know: the French Triathlon Federation prohibits the use of wetsuits for swimming if the water temperature exceeds 24°C, and makes them compulsory if the water temperature drops below 16°C. Between 16 and 24°C, it's up to you.
