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.

Yes. You just don’t feel it because you’re wet.
The water usually cools you down though, so you do sweat less.

That’s why people often feel very thirsty after swimming for a long time.
