A question for all those crazy swimmers out there. I received stitches in my right index finger and was wondering how soon i could return to the water after the stitches come out. What is the shortest time that anyone has hit the water after stitches? Is it possible to go swimming with them in? maybe just wrap them up real good? Thanks for the input!

  • I've been told that you need to wait til the stitches are out. It probably depends on how deep your cut is and how well you are healing. I agree with aquageek. When in doubt, call your Dr.
