A member asked:

Hi i have just come out of hospital after having pneumonia, how soon can i swim and use a sauna?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: On the effect of your pneumonia on your lungs and your endurance. There is no real contraindication to swimming if you can tolerate it. Good luck.
