No one told me not to swim, so I just used my own judgement. One of my incisions took longer than the others to heal because I got an infection. I swam when it was still a little open, but I used one of those totally waterproof bandages over it. The other incisions were healed at that point (almost 4 weeks post-op). But I swam in the ocean. No way I would swim in a lake or pool. I'm now 5 weeks post-op and they are all healed. The salt water actually helps heal the really (really) bad tape rash I got.
