do i take 3yr old ds1 to swim lessons this morning? WWYD??

DS1 had chest infection and throat infection few weeks back, anti b's, got over it. For the last week he has had bit of a cold but a bad cough. He has asthma but is prone to chest infections. Anyway he has just recently started swimming lessons which he loves. DO i let him go this morning? If he has ever had a cold etc, going to the leisure center has always made him worse after. The lessons are in a school pool but as its a junior school would it be any better than a public one??

Haven't you just answered your own question?

[mad4myboys]

yes but my question was, that it isnt a public pool its a school pool

[addictedtomn]

i would think it would more likely be the chlorine in the water.

at teh best of times chlorine makes me wheesy but when i have a cough the chlorine always makes it worse

[addictedtomn]

sorry ment to add, i'm asthmatic

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

It's a swimming pool wherever it may be!
Also if he has asthma the chlorine will affect it. Make sure he is better first!

I don't think it makes an awful lot of difference whether the pool is a public one or a school one.

If you don't think he's well enough to go, or if you think he'll feel worse for having been, then don't take him.
