Depends on the degree of the burn. If the burn is simply reddened skin after an hour (1st degree burn), and is relatively small ( no more than about a 3" circle or so), there should be no problem. If it's heavily blistered (2nd degree burn), I'd skip the swimming until it heals. Don't pop the blisters yourself. However, when they do pop on their own, if they leave an open wound it can be easily infected. Swimming, especialy in fresh water, increases the risk somewhat.

yeah, gentle swimmings fine,

plus the water can sooth it

if your swimming in a holiday and its sunny, you might want to wear a top over it coz the water reflects from the sun, and it gives you a burnt facee
