Your kidneys would fail and you would need a kidney transplant. This would happen because your kidneys are not large enough to hold a large quantity of ocean water. Also ocean water is bad for you. It will cause some sicknesses that you would need treated for.

Hope this helped you, have a great day!! :D

You kidneys can’t process that amount of water. You could die of dehydration as you will become thirsty.
