Just be sure incisions are COMPLETELY healed. Of course, too late now, lol. But, if incisions aren't completely closed then you could get infection. Mine were healed at 18 days but some aren't.

They told me 6 weeks but I went at about 2 and a half weeks. Shhh. I was visiting a friend and he had an indoor heated pool and I figured I wouldn't get many chances to swim in a pool in the Winter so I went for it haha. I just made sure my incisions were totally healed. You should be fine!
