swimming is very good exercise.It will make your body fit and healthy and also make our mind comfortable, recently i found that it has one more advantage that is healing wounds but it is only possible if you swim in a sea, i think it may be due to the salt content in sea therefore go for swimming.

you're perfectly right that swimming in salt water can heal wounds since salt has antibacterial / antiseptic properties to it. and that saltiness in the sea water isn't fish piss 
as a little boy told me. it really is salt .

The salt water is healing, but there can be other things in the ocean (such as tapeworms for example, more specifically, pseudo tapeworms). I wouldn't recommend jumping in the ocean with a big open wound. But you could always soak in salt water in the bathtub.
