Based on the information available, there are no direct side effects of Lipitor (atorvastatin) that are specifically associated with swimming. Lipitor is a medication used to treat high cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease [1].

Common side effects of Lipitor include headache, muscle and joint pain, upset stomach, and changes in bowel movements [1]. These side effects are not swimming-specific and can occur regardless of physical activity.

However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before engaging in any physical activity while on medication. This is to ensure that the medication does not interact with any other factors such as dehydration, heat exposure, or physical exertion that could potentially occur during swimming [2].

In summary, there are no direct side effects of Lipitor that are specifically associated with swimming. However, it is always important to consult with a healthcare provider before engaging in any physical activity while on medication.
