Why do your fingers look like raisins after you get out of the pool?
Question:
Answers:
Your body absorbs water if you are submerged for a while. This basically inflates or expands your skin, but not your bone or blood vessels under it. So your skin is just stretched further than normal, so the only thing it can do is sag or scrunch up. It isn't enough to make it sag, so it just kinda shrivels up around the bone.
The same idea as when someone loses an excessive amount of weight and has to get the skin stabled back or removed, just on a much smaller scale.
Because you are totally submerged in water and you're body absorbs it. It can also be the chlorine too.
cause the water is salty. if you were to put yourself in 100% clean unsalted water, you'd swell up
