hi there, it is not advisable to take a child swimming when he is have a cold and runny nose for two reasons
1. not good for the other people swimming inthe pool as spreads infection
2.May aggravate the cold and may lead to sinusitis as water will drive the infection inthe sinus due to the pressure.
Better to stay it out till he feels better and is symptomfree. Take care.
