This may sound really rediculous...Can your skin absorb water when your body needs it

OK, here goes. I was wondering, if you're not drinking enough water each day as you should, and your body is needing more water, when you take a bath or go in a swimming pool or lake, does the body take in some of the water? If yes, then wouldn't that be bad, with all the soap or chemicals/pollutants in this water? I know this sounds silly, but I think the skin can absorb stuff, can't it?
