Hi all

Just wondering if anyone has done aqua aerobics or swimming while having chemo? I was under the impression that there's a risk of infection so best to avoid?

I absolutely loved my aqua class so really miss it. Used to do a Nifty fifty exercise class too and Pilates. Since surgery and chemo just walking and doing a big of Pilates at home.

Thank you

Sue

Hi Sue suze99 , there is indeed a good chance of infection going into swimming pools.... best keep clear.

Thank you for your reply. I thought so just wishful thinking ... I will have to get back to the on land classes.

Thank you

Sue
