Should One Swim With A Cold And Cough?

My four year old grandson has a cold and cough. My daughter was going to take him to swim lessons this evening. I told her I didn t think he should go as he would be coming out with a wet head in the cold air, which might make him worse. What is your opinion?

Hi.... swimming is not going to make the cough and cold worse. In 95% of the times cough and cold or viral in children. Swimming does not aggravate the symptoms. Please go ahead with the child's swimming exercise.
