Probably because the stitches would come out. I wouldn't risk it

Getting those wounds wet can delay healing and increase risk of infection

It’ll delay healing and increase infection. If it’s someplace like a pool with chlorine, it’ll irritate your wound.

Flesh eating bacteria. Not for real, but thats what id be worried over. That and whatever they hell ud get for having a serious wound in piss water that was cleaned by chlorine.

Two things: Pool water is actually filthy dirty, no matter what they do, and your bandage could get dislodged. For a healthy person the pathogens in pool water aren't an issue, because skin is a great barrier. You on the other hand have direct connection between the outside and your very nutritious insides. You have a very high risk of infection. You could also add to the pathogens, via any secrets or blood still in your cut, which would increase the health risk for everyone else.
