Its not suggested by doctors to swim with any kind of open sore. Coat it with vaseline if you have to, but swimming with a cold sore in a public pool is considered horribly rude and inconsiderate. You might be asked to leave.

YES you can. The virus that causes cold sores and fever blisters isn't spread through pool water.
