What would happen if a person stayed underwater continuously without drying off? Like.. for a day, a week, a year, whatever. 

Would their skin dissolve? How would salinity of the water affect this?

Edit: Words.

Well, David Blaine was in a tank of water for a week.  From Wikipedia:

>On May 17, 2006, Blaine was submerged in an 8 feet (2.4 m) diameter, water-filled sphere (isotonic saline, 0.9% salt) in front of the Lincoln Center in New York City for a planned seven days and seven nights, using tubes for air and nutrition. During the stunt, doctors witnessed skin breakdown at the hands and feet, and liver failure.
