Does swimming give a tan,make me dark all over?!


Question:
Answers:
Only if you swim during the day, with no clothes on.

By the way, the water amplifies the power of the sun so watch out for the burn!

Other Answers:
It depends if you are swimming indoors or outdoors. It also depends if you are wearing sunscreen or not. Either way, a dark tan is not healthy. It might look pretty and you might be "able" to tan, but it doens't make it good for you. I would wear a suncreen of at least 30 and apply if before and after you are done swimming.
yea that chick hit that right on the nail! it amplifies the sun real good lol
Yeah, the water acts as a magnifying glass..
No.. but if you swam in black ink you'd get dark all over.
Tanning is caused by sunlight and doesn't have to be direct sunlight.
After you have been swimming you may have noticed your skin is redder/darker but under your pants your skin is the same old colour.
yes swimming give you a tan
are you already dark
Only if you're naked and under the sun. Wear a 15 spf waterproof sunblock, you'll get tanned without getting burned. Trust me, I'm from the caribbean and I do this all the time.
it can amp up the sun so it will go through your suit better than just laying out.

but i suggest 30 spf sunscreen and sunless tanner. skin cancer is nasty and if you keep it up, you'll look 50 when you're 30

note: you can tan though most clothes, I've been on a boat in the ocean in direct sun and burned through jeans
Even under cloudy skies, swimming outdoors regularly will give you a nice, dark, even tan. Take it easy at first. Try to find someone who can rub oil or lotion on you to prevent burning oer drying of your skin.

Swimming will also do lots more than make yr skin dark. It'll make you stronger, more balanced, more attractive, you'll have more opportunities to meet other attractive people.
Swimming alone won't. Ever heard of night swimming? Well, I haven't heard anyone turn dark after a night swimming.

But exposing yourself under the sun for a long period of time, whether you're swimming, riding a bike, walking, or even working, etc. during day time will surely give you a good tan!
