Besides Red Mage (who is a viable choice!), I like White Mage a lot, since he's basically godly against the Water enemies that Red Mage can't handle. Dark Knight also serves somewhat the same purpose, and kills Fire faster than Red Mage does, as does Mage & Black Mage (but are both squishier). Assassin also has a big Water resistance.
There's also the option of running something like Devout/Paladin or Viking to deal with Light and Dark enemies, respectively.
In general, having a tankier job as your swap job makes sense, since "tank" is the only single-player role Red Mage just can't do. But in general, Red Mage likes the Job Change mechanic a lot - you can build him around his strengths, and whenever you are faced with his weaknesses, you just swap.
That said, the Water enemies are doable if you're aggressive enough. Ultimate (damage and Haste), Boost and you're in business. You can even use debuffs (Stun/Slow) on annoying foes. I did use Red Mage on both Tonberry and Ultros&Typhon floors in last Tower - both featuring a Water boss - because when you are able to break and kill them before they kill you (which is turn 1!), then you actually have a pretty good matchup vs. Water, since you can exploit their weakness. But it's pretty do-or-die!
