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:

If you are sick you need to stay out of the water or refrain from any form of exercise. There is now sufficient research that exercising while being sick has a very negative impact on your heart. You may think you do good but you actually do harm to your body. Stay in bed, get better, feel good and then you can jump back into the water. Any active person will quickly be able to catch up with his or her training :-)
