    Swimming and Sweating?

    In theory, the body simply sweats to cool off the skin and prevent it from getting too hot. A safety mechanism. So when you’re swimming, and all that water is already cooling you off, you’re technically not sweating right? That means all the sodium content that you would usually sweat while exercising stays in your body.

    I don´t think sweat is only for that. If you go to the arctic, you can still sweat.
    You used a different font in your post, didn´t you?

    Well, if you go to the arctic and sweat, it's probably because at least part of you is wrapped up in clothing, and it's that part of you that will most likely sweat because it's still hot compared to the rest of your body.

    You still sweat when you swim. More or less depending on the intensity.

    you definately sweat when you swim! i used to be a competitive swimmer... my brother and sister were near olympic trial level. you just can't feel it because youre in the water. but after an hour swim or so you still get dehydrated like you are running... that water doesnt feel so cold when youve been swimming hard for a bit.

    I was hoping you would chime in. It was an interesting question, but I had no idea. Although I have spent my fair share of prolonged sessions in the pool, I wasn't training the entire duration.
    The only time it's bad to feel the burn is when you're peeing...
