How You Can Go Swimming Safely With a UTI
If you have a UTI, you can still swim safely by avoiding swimming when symptoms worsen, or if you have fever, chills, or blood in your urine. Choose breathable, comfortable swimwear and always shower before entering the pool.
Change out of wet swimwear promptly and stay hydrated to help flush out bacteria. Urinate before and after swimming to reduce irritation. Taking these steps helps protect your urinary tract, and there are more ways to ease your symptoms while staying active.
