It's generally advised to wait at least 24 to 48 hours after starting antibiotic treatment for impetigo before swimming. This ensures that the infection is less likely to be contagious and reduces the risk of spreading it to others. Additionally, make sure the affected areas are well-covered and healed before swimming in public pools or open water. Always consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice.
