Can I Go Swimming With Such a Big Cough?

If you have a big cough, swimming is not a good idea. Coughing can spread germs, which could make other swimmers sick. Also, the chlorine in swimming pools can irritate your lungs and make your cough worse.

  • If you have a fever, do not swim.
  • If your cough is productive (you cough up mucus), do not swim.
  • If your cough is severe, do not swim.

It is always best to err on the side of caution and avoid swimming if you have any concerns about your health.
