Well, mine normally tells mamas that if they are comfortable in a bath then they are generally okay to swim. She tells mamas who had a tear to wait 4-6 weeks so that the tear is healed...chlorine in a pool can irritate the healing tissue and streams/lakes can have bacteria and pollutants that can lead to infection or irritation.
I hope you have a great time!
(in my case she asked me to avoid swimming for 8-10 weeks, bleh. There goes the summer!)
