Lips turn purple after swimming a while

Hi mummies, when my boy, 14 months old, went swimming for less than 10mins, his lips will turn purple. Is this common or medical condition? 2nd time that this happens.

The pool is too cold for your child. Purple lips is a sign of cyanosis - lack of oxygen rich blood. If you want to allow him to swim, try a heated swimming pool instead.
