Kidney
Swimming or Not
Hello Everyone,
I’ve recently joined swimming classes at YMCA, Mumbai branch, for a 2-month course. Started yesterday—Day 1 went well, and I felt fit, fine, and energetic.
However, on Day 2, the trainer introduced a bit more practice, and I started feeling quite exhausted—slight nose block, body pain, anxiety, and overall fatigue. I’ve informed the trainer and my batchmates that I’ll be a slow learner as I’m a special case, and thankfully, they’ve been understanding and supportive.
I do have low Vitamin D & B levels, which might be contributing to body aches and fatigue. The pool is said to be filtered, chlorinated, and water is changed every Monday.
Being a beginner, I’m feeling a bit low today—maybe due to lack of rest or overexertion. Honestly, I’m also a little afraid of any risk of infection.
I’d really appreciate your suggestions—
Should I continue daily or shift to alternate days?
Are there any safety tips or precautions I should follow?
Has anyone here tried swimming post-transplant?
Would be grateful for your guidance.
Warm regards,
Aamir
