Swimming?

Hello, it's me again. I just seem to have so many questions lately..sorry! Not sure if this is even the best place to submit them, or do I go to a forum? Anyway my surgeon suggested I join a gym and I renewed my YMCA membership today and my son and I went to the pool and such. I like to swim laps and he plays. Boy can I feel my incisions when I swim! It's like a tugging feeling, but the doc ok'd all exercise. Anyway, I am wondering if anyone knows how many laps or days of swimming would be sufficient as far as an exercise routine? I am only 2 1/2 weeks out now. I know the swimming is a great for me..but I don't want to just do it for pure fun. Anyone? Thanks much!
