Can I get back in the pool? It's been 18 days (and 4 hours) since I swam. I had a mild case of pneumonia, which was pretty much gone after day 5 on antibiotics. I am back on the treadmill, fast walking and using other cardio equipment at the gym. Is it ok to give swimming a try? I still feel a little out of it and groggy, but I think it's partially due to lack of chlorine. :D

  • Yeah, your body will tell you how long you can make it. Go in with low expectations. The breathing is what will likely get to you first since you'll likely still have some reduced capacity. And at least this is a good excuse for a post-swim nap. :) Hope you're up to speed again soon.
