Would you go to a public swimming pool?

blessed_wife · May 2009

We have one at our apartments and DH is really against it. He says that the risk for infection is too big. Would you agree?

Mauilovespink · May 2009

They usually keep public swimming pools very clean with lots of chlorine. I would think it would be ok.

IselaCid · May 2009

lol, no I do not agree with your DH. Go swimming!

Has your water broken? I assume that it hasn't because if so you should go to the hospital - but otherwise I don't think you can get an infection.

~Soleil~ · May 2009

I would go. Infection risks go up after your water breaks, if I remember right. People do water aerobics while pregnant all the time!

They usually chlorinate the heck out of those pools. I say swim and/or float away.

I think you would be fine! They keep those pretty clean- for the most part!

As long as you haven't lost your mucus plug and your water hasn't broken you should be fine! Swimming is great for you right now. It takes the pressure off of your joints, it's wonderful! There is so much chlorine in the water. If your DH is freaking out, call your doc.

i am going this weekend. infection and chlorine don't coincide, unless your water has broken.

I WISH our condo complex had a pool - I'd be in it every day! Go swimming

blf722 · May 2009

I can't wait for ours to warm up so I can jump in! I think it's safe.

If I wanted to swim, yes. I trust our neighborhood pool water a hell of a lot more the water at the beach. Not all beaches, mind you, but the one close to our house.?

I think it is fine to go swimming. They put so much chlorine in public pools I'm sure it would kill anything in the water.

StaceySnGeorgia · May 2009

Go swimming, there is no risk except for dry skin as result of the chlorine Smile

It's worth it to feel almost weightless for a moment... hehehe

Well.... I don't know... I mean there are lots of germs in pools... besides, I once heard you could get pregnant by going in a swimming pool. Hmmm, I guess I'm not sure I'd risk it. Confused

Blackvelvet · May 2009

As long as the pool doesn't have lots of little kids without diapers swimming around and you don't drink the ater you should be fine.

**Gretchen** · May 2009

Shoot, I lifeguarded at a waterpark. Any water is better than that water ;o) You're fine.

brideprobst22 · May 2009

I would go for it...they are usually well-kempt, sounds like my DH..he freaks out over EVERYTHING (some w/ good reason..some are just f 'n ridiculus!)
