Varies: BUT all sutures out, skin sealed. No swelling, no drainage, good mobility. AND your surgeon says GO swim!

Speak to your: surgeon , if wound s not under tension , most of people can go for swim in 4 to 5 wks post OP but few need more time as the wound may disrupt if it is under tension , only your surgeon can tell you , when to swim. Good Luck
