Of course. I had my surgery 8 years ago and I swim in pools and also in saltwater. it won't hurt a thing although it may shorten the life of the adhesive on the ostomy pouch system. For this reason I recommend though that you cover the barrier with waterproof plastic first aid tape as it may help to get the full life out of the urostomy bag system (they cost about $10 each, so dont' want to waste any).
