Many of my friends and I swim daily. But yesterday I heard
something that I hope is not true.  I was told that it may be
possible to catch herpes from a pool (and especially a hot tub).
Does anyone know for sure about this? (Especially the Red Bank
pool, which is where we all swim, and it is quite dirty, and over
heated). If it IS possible to catch herpes via water, then I think
many of us will be buying new running equipment soon!

We are anxiously awaiting any info.. 

Thanks.
