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'm no doctor but where there's a will, there's always a way. Do you think that an undersized dishwashing glove and some duct tape would do the trick? Duct Tape or "duck" tape as most people refer to it can fix almost anything!!! I've seen people use it on their cars for Pete's sake. If your stitches come out, just duct tape them.;)
