Your question:do you know if a person perspires when they are swimming or actually any kind of exercise in the water?

Yes.  Your  body must sweat in order to help cool it self down when it gets heated.  iMost people sweat because human beings have sweat glands.  There are a few folks who are born without sweat glands who can't sweat.  Take care, Daphne.
