I am sick with a cold.. is swimming a good thing?

[LordJezo]

I normally swim several times a week.. 50 - 60 laps. Is doing this while having a cold (stuffy head, stuffy nose, tired a lot) a good or bad thing?

 

[Aihyah]

yea sure, excersise never hurts, just stay hydrated without using pool water

 

[Rarr]

Sweat it out.

Just don't dive or your head will kill.

I once went scuba diving with a minor head cold. Some of the worst pain I ever felt, I thought my head was going to explode.

Yes, go swim. If it is just a cold the work out will help raise your temperature which is good. Make sure you bring a water bottle and take a lot of small breaks. After you finish make sure you get a good meal and then pass out.
