The actual amount of dehydration/hydration depends a lot on where you swim,
and for how long you swim there. Basically, you exercise when you swim,
you sweat when you exercise, sweating causes loss of body fluids, and you
can't feel yourself sweat in the water. So regardless of where you
exercise or the salinity of the water, you do lose some fluids through
exercise (respiration). This alone could lead to dehydration.

Yes you sweat. I swam for several years and the way you know that you are sweating if during a hard set (or workout) you are sweating then the water will feel really cool. Just the heat and sweat comming of your body makes the water feel cooler than when you started.

yeah, you definitely do. i swim and play water polo at the university level, and know i definitely sweat in the water. during swim practices, after an especially hard set, you can feel the sweat pool around you. also, i've weighed myself before and after workouts, and have found that i lose up to 5 pounds of fluid while swimming. finally, i know in water polo that when i start seriously sweating that i become a lot harder to grab. for some reason, when you sweat in the water it has an almost oily consistency.

I don't think so because you only sweat when your body is beginning to be hot from a lot of physical activity or when the temperature is hot. But when you are in a pool, the water cools your body so there is no need for it to sweat. So I don't think anyone sweats in a pool.

You do sweat, you just dont see it.sweating cools the body down internally. When you swim you generate heat and your body sweats but the water washes it away. So you don't feel it

Yes, you do sweat. That's like asking someone if they sweat when they run. Same thing. You just can't see it because you're in the water. :)

yes, you do, you just do not see (or feel) the sweat when you are in the water. but if you were hung from a harness, above a substance with the same resistance of water, and you swam, you woud most definately sweat
hope this helped

yeah. you sweat when you swim. you just don't notice it because the water cools you off. :D that's why there's chlorine in the pool -- it's used to kill the germs of the sweat. :D
