Wait: You should wait until you are feeling better and the infection is cleared up- probably a few days.

Wait: Honestly, if you are battling a bad sinus infection, you probably don't need to go exerting yourself in any way, including swimming. I would take it easy while getting over the infection. When you're feeling back to normal, resume your usual activities.

DONT: Make sure your level of vision does not chane or that you are starting to see double. Iif so get immediate emergent evaluation. Also use warm compresses on the eyelids to make it feel better.
