Best Answer

When swimming in the ocean if you swim with the current it is easier. Most importantly the salt water increases your buoyancy creating less resistance.

Is swimming in a saltwater swimming pool like swimming in the ocean?

Sorry, but swimming in a saltwater pool is a lot different than swimming in the ocean. In the ocean, pollutants like oil, gasoline, and trash combine with fish urine and dead animals. Another big difference in a pool is that there are no waves! In the ocean, rip tides and tidal waves are a big part of the ocean's cycle. In your pool, waves are non-existent.
