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.
