Should i swim if i am sick?

Question

i dont have a fever, i feel fine except that i have a cough and i need to blow my nose all the time and i must eject phlegm from my throat every now and then. My little sister's having a pool party later today and i was wondering if i should swim, i'm bringing a friend with me to keep me some company and if she wants to swim then i don't want to keep her from swimming by not swimming, well i'm sick....eyy i hate indirect peer pressure. My mom doesn't make anything by better by saying "oh just coz your sick doesnt mean you can't swim! blasfjldafjl;sfdjwoeifjafkjsl brrrraaaaaahahahasdja!!" and look i dont think i want to trust her seeing that she doesn't go to a doctor when she is told to so yea. If i swim i dont want to get worse because my illness really does get kinda bad in the morning and i'm tired of it. But if i don't swim i don't want to seem like a little party pooper that no one likes..

oh ya, i dont really want to swim anyway, i mean c'mon its just a little girls 10th birthday party with all these little kids runnin around a pool tryin to do a cannon ball when all they really look like is a fetus throwin' up a hand sign for crips :/ my moms makin a big deal out of it though...

Answer 1

You can swim but keep all that other mess you talked about out of the water!

Answer 2

It sounds more like excuses not to swim and it's your sisters day, not yours. Grow up have a swim, stop trying to ruin the day. The only one that will miss out is you.

Answer 3

That is completely up to you. If you feel like swimming, then swim, and if you don't, well then... don't! If you do go swimming though I would try to keep your head above water, because you don't want any water getting into your lungs while you are sick. I know I've gotten a mouth or nose full before, and it just makes you feel worse. Plus, you don't want to mess around with possibly getting pneumonia.  Other than that you should be fine. Lighten up too, even though its your little sisters pool party and it might seem lame, its even lamer to make a big deal out of how boring it instead of not caring what people think and just have fun!!

Answer 4
