Swimming with a Yeast Infection

I wouldn't! Not necessarily because of the chlorine with the infection, but because I wouldn't want that cream in the water with other swimmers (or me). It seems somehow not hygenic, like swimming with an open wound. When I was using estrogen cream I stayed out of the pool for the duration of the treatment, and that put a stop to my pool training and sent me up to the weight room instead for about 3-4 months.

You also want to keep your vaginal pH as close to normal as you can, to make it easier to get rid of the infection, and I'd think heavily chlorinated water wouldn't be good for normal pH.

Hope that helps!
