No. You experience greater and greater pressure as you swim farther and farther below the surface of the water. This is because there is a greater height of water pressing down on you from above.

Do you experience more pressure when you swim on the surface of water or under the surface?

Of course when you swim under the surface of the water. The lower you go in the water, the greater the pressure. That's why divers have gauges with them to determine their depth or to know how deep they are in the ocean.


If you swim beneath the surface in saltwater will pressure be be greater then freshwater?

salt water weights more for a given volume than freshwater and that causes the increase in pressure


Where will you experience greater pressure swimming in the sea or swimming in the pool at the same depth?

if you are swimming at the same depth the pressure will be the same. Depth affects pressure directly proportionally. That is if you swim deeper the pressure will become greater. If you swim up the pressure will become less. The size of the body of water does not affect pressure. Think of it this way, the further down you swim the more your ears hurt. they hurt because of the increase in pressure.


What happens the deeper you swim?

The deeper you swim, the greater pressure becomes because there is more water above you pressing down.


What increases as elevation decreases on earth's surface?

Atmospheric pressure, among other things, increases as elevation is reduced. This is because as you get lower, there is more atmospheric mass above wherever you are. This is the same underwater. Pressure increases as you swim down and more and more water is situated above you.

What is wrong with a guppie fish if it floats to the surface if it doesn't swim?

Your guppy might be suffering from swim bladder disease. If you have any more guppies i would keep an eye on them.


Why do some fish puff up when they are brought to the surface from ocean depths?

because when deep sea fish are brought up to the surface after living in such extreme pressure areas for their entire lives, the lack of pressure on them causes them to puff up. so basically, it's because the pressure greatly decreases.


Are penguins the only birds that can swim?

no, auks, ducks, murres, and puffins can also swim, gulls can swim on the surface


Do rattlesnakes swim above or below water?

above the water


Can skeletons swim?

Although it is a commonly held belief that skeletons cannot swim, this is not entirely correct. While slow and inefficient, the skeletal surface does provide enough impermeable surface area to exert pressure against a liquid mass, enabling skeletons to swim, albeit poorly. An interesting side-note, however, is that skeletons are among the least at-risk from sharks, due to their complete lack of blood.


Do dolphins swim at the surface of the water?

Whenever dolphins need to get air they temporarily swim at the surface of the water. Baby Dolphins when born are pulled up to the surface so they don't drown.
