The men were likely naked - or nearly so. The water in Caesarea would have been comfortably warm - even the drinking water would have been.
The command to be "baptized in Jesus' name" in all likelihood wasn't understood as a command for a particular incantation as the Roman Church would develop
Matthew 28:19, into later. They would have instead seen themselves as being "born" (again) into a fellowship that followed the teachings of a particular Jewish rabbi of that name.
