You can go swimming with a fungal infection, However, because the pool attendants are not going to inspect you or your fungal infection before you enter the water it is up to you to get it sorted out before taking part in such activities, go and see your doctor for some treatment, it is very contagious, and it is not very sporting of you to subject the public in general to this condition.

Well, that depends on how sensitive the affected area is to the water chemistry. If the water of the swimming pool irritates your eyes, it can aggravate the symptoms. If the disease has progressed to the point where you have lesions you would be better off not swimming because of the potential for waterborne infection. If you are using a cream to fight the infection you should reapply after swimming.
