If you swim with a wound, the water will get inside the wound and will soak it open, and the wound will reopen. There will be a lot of bacteria inside the swimming pool, if it is swimming bacteria will enter the wound and contaminate the wound thus causing the wound to become infected. Therefore, you should swim only after the wound is completely healed, but not after the stitches are removed, but only after the wound is completely healed.
