Do people still sweat while swimming?

Sweat helps to expel excess body heat. As the water would essentially be performing that task now, would your body still create sweat?

Lets assume water in direct contact with the skin, no wet suits.

/u/SYLOH is right that you still sweat.

I just wanted to add that a wet suit still has your body in direct contact with water – that’s what makes it a wet suit. The suit is not perfectly sealed, so water gets in.

If you want to work in the water without getting wet, you wear a dry suit.
