Best Answer

If you are cold your body has a harder time trying to fight off infection.

so if you swim in warm water then no, it will not get worse. however if you swim in cold water you may stay sick for longer.

it would be rare for a cold to get worse though, just a longer duration.

If swim and have acne what can you do to prevent your swim cap from making the acne worse?

Since the swim cap is designed not to let water through it, it will make the acne worse. You can minimize the effect of this by only putting the swim cap on clean skin, without make-up, or dirt. Then when you remove your swim cap, wash your face with an anti-acne face wash.
