My LO has chronic respiratory and skin problems. I have stayed away from public pools and water parks for fear of 1) the chemicals causing a reaction or 2) bacteria and virus contamination from other swimmers. But these worries are all in my head. The Dr. said it should be fine.
Anyone else worry about this kind of thing?

@lizzywiz: I do a little bit- do you have salt water pools near you? I plan to take LO to an outdoor salt water pool.

@lizzywiz: I haven't taken D yet but that's pure laziness. The water has sooo much chlorine in it, I think the dirtiness is maybe overrated. Even with his g tube I wouldn't have an issue with it. I would be more worried about germs from an indoor play place!

@Greentea: we do but the costs are off the charts!@Mrs. Tiger: thanks for being a voice of reason. We have an invite to an indoor water park and I was considering passing, even though this is her first real invitation. I did pass last year but we have had much less hospitalizations this year (5ish last and only two this year)- I really don't have a reason to say no except for residual fear.
