Can you catch shingles from other children who have shingles?
No. While you can catch chickenpox, shingles comes from a virus
already within you (chickenpox virus) so you can only have shingles
if you have previously had chickenpox. I myself had shingles back
when I was in the fourth grade but neither my brother nor my sister
ever had it.

Can you swim when you have shingles?
No.
Well, think like this:

Shingles is still a type of sickness/illness, you wouldn't go
swimming with another sickness, so why shingles?
and if someone else is in the pool, there is a chance that, that
person may catch shingles too.
so no.
And I hope you get better soon. =)

Is shingles hereditary?
You catch shingles in old age because you had chicken pox as a
child. Children catch chicken pox from other children with chicken
pox or from old people with shingles. While no one inherits
shingles, it may seem that way because children who caught chicken
pox from their grandparents with shingles will give chicken pox to
their grandchildren when they get old and get shingles unless the
grandchildren get a vaccination for chickenpox.
