You can go swimming if you have a cold. You should make sure you eat enough to sustain you about 1-2 hours before you go and take plenty of water with you.
It is probably not a good idea to go swimming if you have a cold. Your body is trying to fight the infection and you need to rest so it can do so. If you do need to go swimming then you should make it a light workout.

Definitely not recommended. You can die.

Yes, of course you can go swimming as long as the water is not cold. Just make sure you dry yourself and change clothes as soon as you get out of the water. You cannot lie in the sun.

no you should not because of the changes in temperature in your body and in the pool...but a hot bath so be more suitable.

It really depends. If you just normally swim then you won't spread germs but if you cough or sneeze in the pool then you would
