    Molluscum contagiosum is a viral rash. It looks like tiny warts grouped together & can last anywhere between 6 & 18 months. Dd1 had it at 6.

    It is spread through water (not sure about cold, but spreads easier in warm. Couldn't bath the kids together & she could only shower to prevent it spreading further on her body.)

    Dd had it on one side of her torso & some on her inner upper arm. Not a huge affect on life if they leave them alone, but not pretty.

    My 3 eldest all use indoor heated pool. At our old swim school (heated indoor) the water was cold despite it being heated ITMS and my son hated it and wouldn't get in, he'd often get sick too.

    We now use a new school, indoor heated and they love it, learn so much more and better environment. Never been sick.
