I swam today with a cold. I have no fever, and no infection, just congestion. I was pleased at how my swim was sort of a 'vacation' from my cold. The symptoms vanished during the swim.
Afterwards (1000 yards), I felt rejuvinated, and my sinuses felt less congested.
Anyone else have this experience? I'd never go in with a fever, etc., being a big contagious germ carrier, but then chlorine would take care of that I think....but why take chances?

I know that I tell my swimmers not to get in with a cold unless they are on antibiotics that don't have any significant side effects.
All the best!
Antibiotics don't help colds. Colds are viral, and antibiotics will do absolutely nothing except build resistance to them.
