Pregnancy and pools?

Question

I know it is good to swin while you are pregnant, but I was wonder if it is ok to swim in a pool that has chemicals to clean it in there. I am 19 weeks, and the warm weather is killing me. I just want to swim, but the only pool around me is my uncles and he uses many chemicals to keep it clean?

Answer 1

Check with your OBGYN, but I don't believe this will be a problem. Water walking or aerobics would be the best for you, the more fit you are the less problems in labor, etc. If you go to the YMCA or the local public pool, it would seem the chlorine, etc in the pool would be the same.

Good luck with a new birth.
