I am relieved. I will drink more water when swimming.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item><item><title>RE: finger wrinkled when swimming</title><link>https://community.usms.org/thread/147288?ContentTypeID=1</link><pubDate>Thu, 15 Jul 2010 09:33:38 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">3187ac58-ba85-4314-b79a-c45cd885e09a:5e39b4ce-07ce-4f20-8e84-81f4e4ac1788</guid><dc:creator>bzaks1424</dc:creator><description>You&amp;#39;ll also notice that as you swim longer and longer - it takes a little longer to wrinkle up. Its also not a bad thing to wrinkle up - it just means your skin is saturated with water. 

However you should still bring something to drink, just because you&amp;#39;re skin is wet doesn&amp;#39;t mean you&amp;#39;re hydrated ;)

No, this is normal.  

Does it mean my body needs to be replenished with something? Thanks!

I don&amp;#39;t think so.  It never hurts to have a water bottle to sip from during breaks, however.&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
