I would be interested in your collective thoughts on swimming with a cold, the flu, or worse. Two issues to consider...
1.) Exercise helps stimulate the body and may help with overcoming the illness, or at least it's symptoms. I'm not a doctor, so some feedback on this would be appreciated.
2.) As noted in another thread, what about your fellow swimmers, are you putting them at risk and possibly spreading whatever it is you have as we all gasp the same air at the end of the lanes? Again, not being a doctor, I would be interested in thoughts on how real (or imagined) this risk may be.
Happy New Year!

Having the sniffles seems to be my steady state since I started swimming again, so unless I feel too ill to drive to the pool, I'm there.
