You can go swimming 24 hours after having an ingrown toenail removed. Just remove the bandage from surgery soak/apply Amerigel and put on a small peice of gauze and a Band-aid. Then go swimming as usual, pools and lakes are just fine. You may want to wear water shoes for added protection. Be sure to soak/apply Amerigel and fresh gauze and Band-aid promptly after swimming.
