Hi there....
I've been swimming for about 4 1/2 years, 4-6 times per week. I just found out that I'm pregnant (about 3 weeks along) and I was wondering if anyone out there can offer any advice as to whether or not I can continue my regular schedule. I'm suffering from "morning sickness" but I find that swimming actually helps.
What about continuing through the 2nd and 3rd trimesters? I've noticed some women at the pool I swim at checking their heart rate(?)
Has anyone out there competed during pregnancy?!
Thanks!:)

This sounds like a question for your ob/gyn.
Speaking for myself, I were to become pregnant (not likely, since I'm a *man*), I would continue to work out on a reduced intensity level, and I would put competition on hold. This is not based on any specific medical insights, but just being prudent.
Also -- Congratulations!
