because you can't get baptized in the nude because it would be plain weird
They are baptismal robes, not burial clothes. These are worn by people wanting to receive a blessing in the River Jordan where Jesus Christ was baptised. They are also worn during any adult baptisms.
When you are baptised you are a new creation. You are baptised and cleansed with water. There is no need to take off your clothes as this shows humility before God. A swimsuit is sportswear and baptism is no sport.
There is no record of him making people go naked before he baptised them. If people wanted to keep their clothes dry, I imagine some of them voluntarily disrobed.
There were so many people who baptised people the apostles did baptize people, dont know if ou mean John the baptist.
John the baptist' mother was never baptised at all until her son John baptised Jesus Christ (the first person to be baptised), it was only then that people decided to come up and be baptised. It never says in the bible if John's mother was baptised or not but she probably was. People got baptised at a much older age back then compared to today's tradition of getting baptised between the age of 0 and 3)
Not really, Im a Protestant. The thing is that we dont baptise infants full stop. This is because infants dont know what theyre doing so youre just getting them wet. Jesus got baptised when he was a grown man so we baptise people when theyre already old enough to know what theyre doing, im 17 and just got baptised. And yes we baptise in water.
A lot.
pray with them or get baptised

Yes, anyone can attend, baptised or not baptised.
