swimming after carpal tunnel surgery

I’m not a doctor or medical professional, and I haven’t had carpal tunnel surgery, but enough other surgeries to know that you won’t be allowed back in the water at least until the surgical incision wound heals completely. I’d say a couple of weeks just for that anyway. That’s just to make sure it doesn’t get infected. Beyond that…you need to go with whatever the surgeon, and PTs recommend with regard to various pressure and stress s/he recommended. You need to find out exactly from you doctor and follow her/his instructions.
