Is It Safe To Swim When Having Cough ?

my daughter will be six in one month. she has a flem filled cough for about five days. i took her to the doctor and she has to run its course. it is 80 degrees outside and sunny. our pool is 92 degrees and her brother is swimming. she wants to go. she weighs 35 lbs. and is petite. otherwise she is healthy. can i let her go swimming with him? no runny nose, but she sneezes every once in a while.
