Bathing and swimming

I was wondering when I could bath and relax in the tub. I do miss relaxing in the tub. Just nice fir quiet time to release stress (which I've been full of lately). That's mostly my question but while on the subject of Water how about swimming? I don't see myself swimming until June or July but figured I would ask that as well.

    My post-op instructions said 2 weeks. I went swimming sweet about 2 1/2 weeks. I think you will be fine as long as your incisions are healed.

    My surgeon doesn't allow swimming or bathing until four weeks.

    I was told once my incisions were 100% healed. You don't want to run a risk of infection.
