Should be OK: Hi. Assuming you're not diabetic (excluding tightly controlled) or have some other reason for poor wound healing, you should be well healed by 10 days, and swimming in the ocean or a lake should be fine as long as the water is not polluted and swimming there is not advised against in general.
