I've had stitches dozens of times and swam through many of them. Usually wait at least 2-3 days before any swimming. If doc says I can shower, I usually swim. Clean very well. YMMV
Generally, a week is recommended out of water; and that doesn't negatively affect us much.
Same here. If it's not bleeding then I swim. Shower and clean and smear a little triple antibiotic on For good measure. Never had a problem.
