Is It Okay To Swim/do Water Aerobics With Active Flares?
A myHSteam Member asked a question 💭

I was doing well and things under control for the most part and decided I really needed to start moving again. I started walking and not sure if coincidentally have really bad flares (groin, lower abdominal area) from friction or just the disease cycle. I’ve been hesitant to try swimming or water aerobics because of infection risk and simply managing any drainage if it occurs. Thoughts/experiences?

Doesn’t chlorine kill the germs?

Personally, I would not get in that water especially if it's public . Maybe, if you had your own personal pool. Maybe. Infection is easy to get and hard to get rid of.😀
