A member asked:

Is it safe to go to swimming lessons in pool w/ yeast infection? i don't have stds, just a residual infection from hell. it was caused by a latex allergy (took months to figure out)will this get others sick or cause it to get worse?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No problem. Consider some facts. The yeast involved is everywhere in the environment. It makes up at least 5% of the dry weight of poop and can be found on almost any random surface at some point. If you shed any it will feel at home with what's already there. Swimming has a cleansing effect & should not matter at all.
