Get Low Fever, Flushed Face, Chills When Swimming Even Half Mile. Taking Tylenol Helps. Suggestion?

My doctors have not been able to explain this, and noone at the YMCA where I swim has heard of it before. I have been swimming regularly for forty years with no problem until seven months ago, when on many of the evenings, nine to twelve hours after I have swum a half mile in the early morning, I get a low fever, flushed face, and chills. I never get these symptoms on days I have *not* been swimming. Taking two Extra Strength Tylenol has taken care of it each time, and I am fine in the morning. But I have given up swimming for now, because this is unpleasant and may be something my body is trying to tell me.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi,
It seems that you might be getting some water born infection giving rise having fever.
Nothing to worry, start swimming after you become alright.
Go for swimming daily for about 40-45 minutes, not more.
You may swim keeping your head up to avoid water going inside.
Ok and take care.
