No, dry ice being a special chemical substance, I believe C02, will evaporate into a gas when melted. Be careful, if you inhale too much you could do damage to your body.

Yep, it sure looks like it; except you really wouldn't be "swimming" since when dry ice melts, it goes directly to its gaseous state.

Dry ice sublimes, meaning it goes from the solid phase to the gas phase. So no, you wouldnt be able to swim

Dry ice evaporates, so it would be impossible for you to swim in water it does not make.

yes.....and......no......carbon dioxide goes from a solid to a gas....cannot swim like you are in h2o...therefore you would not get wet in the gaseous state of dry ice

No. When ice is melted, it becomes water and you will get wet if you immerse yourself in it.
