Hi,Flurry,
Thanks for query,
as you have cough and cold better to avoid swimming as it may prolong your cough and you may infected others too.

Hi flurry,
i suggest you not to go swimming, as you are already down with infection you may acquire other kind of infections from pool water, it only makes the condition worse.
Also there are possibilities that others might also get infected. Get well soon.
