I weigh308-312 depending on the time of day. I started weighing myself before and after my daily 60-minute swim. I consistatly absorb approximately 7=10 pounds of weight in that hour. I swim about 3/4 mile in that hour period - breast, back and freestyle 30/30/30. I suspected I was absorbing a month ago when I went to my dr. appointment. I'd weighed that morning at the Y; then swam and went to my appointment to find the 12-pounds showing up on his scale. I attributed this to scale differences, the fact that I was clothed and wearing shoes. I began weighing before and after and sure enough, because of my over-sized human "sponge", I absord perportionately. I suppose someone "smaller"; leaner BMI might absorb somewhat less... a 150lb man might only pick up 2-3lbs water??? I will continue to mintor.
No, the body does not absorb water when you swim. The skin acts as a barrier that prevents water from being absorbed into the body. Any water that is inhaled or swallowed while swimming is typically expelled through breathing or digestion.

You can wear water shoes to hide your toes while you are swimming.
The Great Salt Lake has a high concentration of salt in the water. Considering that about 70% of a human body is water (with a very low relative concentration of salt) a human has a relatively low density and that makes a person float while swimming

Yes, your body can absorb water while you shower through the skin, but the amount is minimal compared to drinking water.
It moves away from the human anatomy while u dive into the pool. This also decreases the viscosity in the water
Yes, your body can absorb water while bathing through the skin, but the amount absorbed is minimal compared to drinking water.

No, it continues pretty much constantly. Most women wear tampons when they go swimming, as the pads absorb water and get really heavy and messy.

Wearing a cold water swimming hat while swimming in chilly temperatures helps to retain body heat, prevent heat loss through the head, and improve overall comfort and safety in cold water.
