DS is almost 3, we went swimming, he hasnt been for a year. He had a fab time and was doing so well and just loved it but I suddenly realised his lips were vivid purple! I called the lifeguard over and asked if there were any chemicals in the water that would cause that and she said no, that it was cold. So we got out, and they are much more normal now, cherry with just a little tinge of purple, and of course he is dressed in warm clothes.
Is that a normal reaction in a pool where the water is pretty much room temp?

Took DS swimming this evening and his lips turned really dark purple - but the water wasnt terribly cold. Should I worry?
