Being baptized is an important enough event in one's life that it should be done according to the traditions of one's church and their congregation, and not according to one's own wishes. If they want him to wear a swim suit, that's what he should wear. If they'd rather him wear a robe (with or without anything underneath it), he should do that.
For what it's worth, for a good part of the history of the church, baptisms were often done with the subject nude, just as they were born. People weren't very hung up about nudity back then, the way they are now. But, unfortunately, people are hung up about it so your brother likely won't get his wish.
