>>If your scar is pretty well closed all around, then it should be OK to swimm in a pool. (if you can control erections). You may feel tingling around the scar initially, and make sure you take a good shaoer after to rinse off pool water.

I'm back from teaching lessons. It was pretty painful, just because I wasn't able to wear a bandage or anything to protect the sensitive glans from rubbing against my trunks, but I don't think there was a chlorine problem. Does anyone know of anything I could wear that will stay on in the water?
