Does your body lose heat by conduction while in a swimming pool?

Quite so. The water in a swimming pool is cooler than body temperature (unless the swimming pool is actually a hot tub) and therefore, a person in that pool will lose heat by conduction.

Describe how the body can loose heat in conduction convection and radiation?
you are swimming in ice cold water and losing heat. How does heat leave your body?
When you get cold while your swimming does your body lose heat from conduction convection radiation or reflction?
"Reflction" (I assume you mean "reflection") isn't really a way to lose heat. Convection is really only important within a body; it's largely irrelevant when talking about heat transfer from one distinct body (you) to another (the water). There may well be convection in the water, but that has only a secondary impact on you and how cold you are.That leaves radiation and conduction. Both of these processes are going on, but of the two, conduction is by far the more significant in this particular case.
What do you call the heat transfer from one body to another?
Heat Conduction.
How are conduction and heat different?
Conduction is the transfer of electrons in an element while Heat is the effect caused due to the transfer of electrons .
Heat is transferred from your body into an ice cube by?
conduction

What do you mean by conduction of heat?
the transfer of heat from one end of body to another end of body is called conduction of heat

The loss of body heat by conduction can be enhanced by?
Convection

Heat transferred from sand to towel to body is transferred by what?
Heat is transferred from sand to towel to body by conduction because of direct contact.
What is the difference between the transfer of heat by conduction and that by radiation?
In conduction, parts of the object move, taking their heat with them. In radiation, the body transfers heat by electromagnetic radiation - often in the infra-red wavelengths.
What are the 5 ways heat is exchanged with the body?
metabolic heat production (heat gain) radiated convection conduction evaporation
Does conduction produce heat?
no, conduction describes how the heat is transported not how it is generated. With conduction, a heat source is still needed.
What are two examples of heat conduction that are observable in everyday life?
Two examples of heat conduction that are observable in everyday life:- heat conduction through walls- heat conduction through clothing- heat conduction from many home appliances
