I don't think you'll sink but I can tell you it's easier to swim in a wetsuit then waders, filled with water or not.
All the folds of the breathable waders and the heavy boots just suck the energy out of you. If there's water inside the waders you have to move that with each kick too.
And no one better tell me water in your waders doesn't "weigh" anything underwater. It doesn't, but it still has mass. Ever push a big water balloon around in a pool before? It doesn't sink, but it still takes force to move it around. The same will apply to the water in your waders when you attempt to kick back and forth.
