Hi.

I just read through your question. Typically, we don't want kids with fever to be interacting with others. Perhaps because of his well appearance, and exception could be made. I would advise that if at any point you notice something even slightly off, cancel the swim lesson.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Eric Goldstein
