I guess nobody knows LoL 100 views and no responses. Did you try to google haha? I would just quick call the doc and ask...I am assuming it would be okay..its not like you are pushing any water up in there LoL but who knows!

lol yeah I guess everyone is interested but nobody knows the answer! I'll put a call into the doctor. I would assume its okay but wanted to double check  just incase!

Hmmm....good question.  Already been treating it?  I started my 7 day treatment on Saturday and plan to go swimming in a big lake this Th/Fri...never even thought twice about it... let me know what your Dr says!  I think I will be swimming regardless...

Yes. 

I am a swimmer.  You can swim on your period, you can swim with a yeast infection, you can swim when pregnant. 

If anything I imagine it will feel nice, like a nice soak in epsom salts!
