Being relatively new to swimming don't know how the “rules” of being sick-getting better-jumping back in the water work. So here's my question:
How soon you think I can go back to swimming after having a very bad bronchitis? I got sick last Wednesday :cry:, do feel better now, BUT the cough is still very strong and the nose is trying to run away... :D
Any suggestions? Supposedly I am on the list to swim a relay in November, so can't miss too many days, on the other hand, don't want to get sicker.... :shakeshead:
Thank you very much!!!:notworthy:

I was just going to post a question about how sick is too sick to swim! I think I will just horn in on your thread, if you don't mind.
I was supposed to swim today, but I feel cold and crappy, and have a stuffy/runny nose, and just feel sorry for myself, but I don't feel THAT bad. I *could* swim, but, not knowing where to draw the line, I stayed home. In your case, I'd stay home a few days. The idea of having to flip on my back in the middle of a length to cough up a lung sounds gross and disruptive. If I were lanemate to a person doing that, I'd probably get out in disgust and paranoia.
Oh, and I should mention that I am seriously germ-phobic, so if I'm comng across as a little extreme, that is why.
