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:
there's a thread around somewhere where people were very animated about the pros and cons of swimming with a cold/other sickness. personally, unless i am near death, i tend to get in. Swam a meet with the flu spring '06, and actually did pretty well (100 free was at the time my 2nd best non-championiship meet time; 500 was 3rd best that year).
just be careful about
a) spreading your illness; and
b) nursing yourself back to health.
