Can I Do Swimming In The Pool After Pilonidal Cyst Excision ?

My son had a pilonidal cyst excision in feb. the wound reopened and he has a small 1.5 mm sinus left. We pack it twice a day. We leave for vacation and he wants to swim. I am hesitant for him to get in a pool, but think the ocean may be ok. His dr hasn't returned my call. What should he do?
