Swimmers? Im nervous...

[Medikdave 20]

how many weeks after surgery can we get in chlorine?

My doctor said 4 weeks for a private pool, 6 weeks for a public pool. I have internal sutures with surgical glue on the skin incisions. I don't know if the rules are different for incisions with external sutures.

Yes. No exercise yet!! I have internal sutures and steri-strips that the Dr removed at my 1 week post-op.

I love swimming..I am 3 and a half months post op and I swim 4 to 5 times a week. I also do an aqua fitness class at my gym and swim laps after..I also swam competitively all through high school. It was a bit intimidating at first but I soon got over it and decided I was doing this for me and it is something I like to do...each day I try to push myself to work harder than the last. And usually the lanes are roped off into individual lanes so you should be able to have one to yourself and you don't have to worry about anyone else and you can go at your own pace..anyway good luck on your journey
