You can use water if you'd like - in racing, they actually use water, rather than antifreeze. There are caveats,, though. If you live in a place which experiences freezing temperatures, antifreeze is going to do much more to protect your vehicle. Also, the problem with water is that it provides no lubrication to the water pump without additives. Antifreeze does lubricate the water pump.
