How long until you swam?

I was staring to swim some before I had surgery, and now, maybe because of the dehydration, I am CRAVING getting into the pool. I'll ask my doctor on Monday, but I'm just curious, how long was it until you guys were "cleared for swimming" (or baths, etc.).

    He's local.. I'll definitely ask him on Monday... I was just curious. =) I will probably wait until he SEES them and gives me the "ok". I'm just really looking forward to it.

    Showers only here too until the incisions were completely closed and no scabing. I have a pool in my yard and naturally it got nice and warm right after my surgery so I really wanted to go in but couldn't.
