Too soon: I am sorry to hear about your partial Hysterectomy. I would advise you wait longer (~2-4 weeks or more) before going into the pool. Especially if this was an open surgery (A surgery where they cut into the belly). But your best bet is to ask your surgeon regarding swimming since he or she knows your medical history.

Depends: If the hysterectomy was done by making a cut on the abdomen then it is too early to do so. If it was done transvaginally then it should be fine but it is better to take it easy.
