Hi Lacey,
MYA advise no exercise (apart from walking) for 6 weeks. I love swimming too as well as lots of classes at the gym. Before my op I was exercising 6 times a week and thought that I would really miss it and struggle with not being able to do anything (apart from going for walks) but actually I was happy not to do anything because although I wasn’t really in any pain my boobs felt wierd and uncomfortable and I couldn’t imagine jumping around feeling like that. I started exercising again after 6 weeks, the first time I swam it felt very strange and a bit uncomfortable and I felt a bit nervous but I am now gradually increasing my swimming distance until it is back to what it was pre op! This is going to take a while as I literally increase by 2 lengths each time I go but I’d rather take it easy than do any damage! I hope that helps.
Claire
