    I'm a swimmer and my doc said I could swim if my incisions were completely covered by tegaderm. Maybe check with yours on this.

Couple of thing here...I wasn't allowed in a pool for 6 weeks or allowed to lift more than 10 pounds for 6 weeks...I would say doubtful but your doc may have very different rules than mine did!

I was ready to go a week and a half out of surgery. I would say go for it. Just be careful with lifting the kids.

Will you be in the water? If so, you must wait until your incisions are fully healed before swimming.

I agree with the comments here... My doc was strict on baths, swimming and lifting. I didn't feel like doing anything for weeks. Talk with your doc left him/her make the call.

I teach swim lessons and my doc said i could get back in the pool right away but I won't feel like it.
