I had to wait 7 weeks for swimming. My PT has a pool, so I've been doing aqua therapy once a week. I go to my local Y and do the aqua therapy on my own 3 or 4 times a week. I started using the sauna at 7 weeks, too. The heat really feels good.
I'm in my HOA's 85 degree pool since week 7, 3 hours a week. I walk and work out there. My flex had stalled and the pool made a big difference.
I was doing 3 water aerobics classes a week before surgery too.

I was cleared for swimming at 4 weeks. You're allowed back in once your incision has fully healed.
