mrkneed,

The first two weeks after hair transplant surgery are the most critical. I would abstain from swimming until then.

Do not expose your head to the sun for a long period of time without sun block for 3-6 months (I've heard variations on this). For the first two weeks, wear a lose fitting hat out in the sun, after that, wear a hat or sublock.

Of course, I don't recommend exposing any part of your body to the sun for a long period of time regardless as it's simply not good for you.
