That would be a good question for your doctor. If the swimming pool water is properly balanced, the water won't hurt your toe (assuming the Dr says it's ok to get the toe wet). The bigger question is, will you be introducing infection into healthy pool water. I would recommend staying out of the water until the toe is healed.

It is not a good idea to go swimming when one has just had their toenail removed because it might become infected. It also depends on where you are swimming. Swimming in chlorinated water can be painful as the chlorine will "burn" your wound and you will be in pain. Rivers, lakes, and other open water bodies contain bacteria and parasites that can infect your wound.
