I have recently been doing a water aerobics class and read about MAC being chlorine resistant. I wrote my dr to ask if I should d/c pool activity. She said if the pool is well maintained it is okay. I just want to be sure....Does anyone know, if you are already diagnosed with MAC, can going to a pool make it worse?

I read somewhere that indoor pools are a no go... But you know. Internet.
I asked my lung specialist the same question about our local indoor pool complex and he said it is fine to continue attending hydro pool. In Australia. Hope that helps

I was never told that pools are a problem. They did say never on saunas, steam baths, jacuzzis. Saunas are apparently germ baths for anyone not just us MAC people. Hope that swimming is ok, because it’s such great exercise for lungs etc.
