No, you cannot catch a cold simply by playing with water. Colds are caused by viruses, primarily the rhinovirus, and not by exposure to water itself. However, being wet and cold for extended periods can weaken your immune system and make you more susceptible to infections. It's important to stay warm and dry to maintain your overall health.

Is it safe to work out under a shower as the head is sweating and the cold water is dropping on your head. Does hot from the workout and cold from the shower make you catch a cold or get a headache?

Not quite sure how you would work out under a cold shower, but I think your basic question is about cold water on hot, sweaty, active bodies and the possibility of it being unsafe or causing one to "catch a cold". As far as safety, that would best be answered by your doctor, considering your overall health, heart condition etc.... As far as headache, that's quite possible any time you are hot and stick your head under cold water!! As far as catching a cold, that sounds like the old "wives' tale" about not going out in the cold if your hair is wet! That is not how you catch a cold! You catch a cold from viruses, the most common being the rhinovirus. Many healthy people will take a cold shower or swim in a "cool" pool after a steam room, sauna room, or a good workout. Again, that does not cause one to catch a cold, being exposed to a virus causes one to catch a cold.
