Can you actually sweat under water?

Question

Can you actually sweat under water?

Answer 1

In cold water, you won't be able to feel it..You know a person is 90% lighter under water..so a little sweat you won't be able to feel, specially with sweat being your body's way of getting rid of water..now peeing is a different story...but once you swim laps than get out of the pool and you will be able to feel your sweat

Answer 2

Well, the thing is...if you swim in warm/hot water you do and you open up all your blood vessels and your circulation races. If under cold, you actually dont as the cold makes the circulation go slowly. It's like when someone is getting hot flushes, you give them something cold to drink, or a cold wet flannel on their forhead to cool them and in this instance make their blood flow easy. BUT once out of cold water into the open air after a good work out, you sweat gradualy.

I hope this helped,

Answer 3

yes. u can feel it-ur face starts burning like crazy.

Answer 4

you do but you dont feel it, because youre surrounded by water, i.e. if you swim hard; when you rest and stay standing eventually you'll feel it as your temperature rises and it feels cold

Answer 5

You sure can.  Divers who dive in very warm water have to be very careful, because they lose water rapidly through sweat; the body doesn't KNOW it's underwater, and so it sweats due to the skin temperature rising.  However, since the ambient temperature is higher than the body's temperature, the heat has no place to go, and a diver can overheat VERY quickly.  It's pretty tricky.

Answer 6

Yeah, being a swimmer, i notice it when my skin starts to itch and burn a little. meaning the cholrine is getting into your skin quicker. yeah when u swim really hard u will know when ur sweating.
