Swimming in the ocean for long periods can lead to dehydration primarily due to the high salt content of seawater. When you swim, you may not realize how much water you lose through sweat and breathing, and the salt in the ocean can increase your thirst, making you less likely to hydrate properly. Additionally, you may not feel the effects of dehydration as acutely while in the water, leading to a delay in recognizing the need for fluid intake. As a result, prolonged exposure can deplete your body's hydration levels.
