Simple. By all means go swimming, but change out of your wet bathing suit right after you've finished. I've also found showering right after swimming discourages the growth of anything unwanted, plus, as an extra bonus, when you wash right after swimming you are protecting your hair from all the damaging chemicals in pool water.

I have had the same thing happen to me when i was younger go to the store and get a cream or a pill you fell comfortable with read the back of all the boxes pick one you like the most. Take it for a day or two the way the directions tell you. Then you can go in the pool. But when you get out o the pool make sure you go and take a nice warm shower but if you don't have time then dry off really good and put clean clothes on. And Never forget to take it or you can hurt your body a lot more .

Sittin in a wet bathing suit is unhealthy.
Go to the store and get some over the counter medicine and stay away from the pool.
Dont even think about the pool untill this is cleared up!!!

its not the pool so much as sitting around in the wet suit. Get out of the water and take a hot shower and put on dry clothes.

first don't sit around in your wet bathing suit. you can go back in the pool, just when you get out dry off well and put on dry clothes and undies :D

Get some medication first of all, Secondly, it's fine to swim, just make sure you put on dry clothes after you get out.
