ACCEPTED

You certainly can go swimming, but it is likely to make your sinus infection worse.

Half way down this page it lists things that can make a sinus infection worse, and swimming is listed at the top:

The chlorine can irritate the nasal and sinus linings.

I hope this helps! Please don't forget to "Accept!"
