Okay, this is random. Im not going to answer this question because I don't want to. Instead Im going to give you a peice of my mind.
I saw that you posted somewhere else that art is a waste. Well it is NOT, and I think that you are a douche. You are because I say so. Im ticked off, so I don't care that I sound like a blithering idiot right now.
If you wanted something DEEP from me, you should just look elsewhere. This is the philosophy section after all.
...Fine, I WILL answer your question, just because everyone else is refusing to think outside of the box and it is extremely annoying.
NO, you cannot swim. Because the human mind associates "Swimming" with being wet. Unless someone is wet, they will most likely not consider their situation as "swimming". Floating, pehaps. Falling, because air (and the metaphorical dry ice you refer to may produce just that) cannot support body weight, maybe. But not swimming.
Sheesh, darned realists.

Well...you can't really melt dry ice. Dry ice is carbondioxide. So, if you put dry ice on a table or anyplace except you know a really cold place it will evaporate. So, yes. You CAN swim without getting wet, because there is no water. It isn't like regular ice that just melts and is a pile of water. Oh, and i would NOT recommend swimming in dry ice, ouch.

if you could swim in melted dry ice you would get wet... but you can't swim in melted dry ice, because it will go direcly from solid to gas {it's called sublimation...} because it is made of carbon dioxide...

That question is as deep as the pool of dry ice in which you're swimming.

There would be nothing to swim in because you would have a gas. Technically you could swim without getting wet in such a situation.

lmao no dry ice doesn't melt it evaporates, turns into gas not liquid. it is fun to play with. liquid nitrogen is too.

Yes, because dryice do not turn liquid and becomes gas!
