I was told that if you have vertigo or have any inner ear issues, it's quite dangerous to swim! Something about the body losing it's sense of orientation in the water, especially if you try to dive into the water.
Having said that, I do go into the water but I keep my feet planted on the ground. I walk around and splash, but I don't close my eyes or anything.
It's still a lot of fun!
