I would refrain from letting a a child get into too many public activities- a child with chickenpox should stay home until the pox have scabbed over, and sincerly I do not think that letting him swim with other children is a good idea.

Well, think like this:
If you have a bad fever, would you still go out swimming?
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. =)

∙ 10y agoSomeone with chickenpox should avoid swimming because they could spread the infection to others. However, just as taking a bath won't cause more pox, swimming will not cause more pox to the patient. Someone with chickenpox should be responsible by staying home until the scabs are crusted over; at that point, you are no longer contagious.

∙ 11y agoSimilar to chickenpox, the time prior to healing or crusting of the blisters is the contagious stage of shingles. Once all of the blisters are crusted over, the virus can no longer be spread and the contagious period is over. Of course, if someone is exposed to the shingles virus, they don't get shingles....they get chicken pox instead. Shingles comes only after the chicken pox virus has infected you, (sometimes decades ago), and some stimulus allows for the shingles (herpes zoster) virus to replicate in your system and cause the symptoms of shingles.
