You should be fine, but i suggest just waiting a week or so just to be on the safe side.
You are going to have bleeding for a couple of weeks, and are not allowed to wear tampons; so swimming is pretty much out of the question. Other than that, you should ask your doctor.
You may want to check with your OB/GYN on that one. Most likely, the chlorine would help keep you protected from infection, but you should check just to be sure. My doctor had me abstain from sex with the hubby for 6 weeks, so maybe that would be the same time period for anything that could put you at risk?
I wasnt allowed to go until after my 6 week checkup. Which sucked because i had a summer baby
