good question. i have had a nagging cough, and suspected a cold. but the symptoms seemed to subside while i rested. but now the cough is back following any time in the pool -- which is an outdoor pool. the problem is -- i can't find much on the swimming/coughing correlation. maybe someone can post something that will be useful.

∙ 11y agoIt kind of depends on what kind of swimming you will be doing. If its just splashing around and relaxed swimming you should be ok. However, if you are planning to go to swim practice I would take a little more precaution. As a competitive swimmer, the water above the pool is FULL of chlorinates that make it harder to breath. If you have a cough, these chemicals are not the healthiest to breath in, and you also run the risk of passing your virus to your team mates. It is a total judgement call on your part, but as a competitive swimmer I would say probably not...you will struggle with your hypoxic sets and have a terrible practice in general.
