Swimming After Vaginal Birth

I am currently 11 weeks postpartum after a vaginal delivery. Things aren’t quite as “tight” as they used to be down there, and I am a little concerned about water going into my vagina, especially when going swimming in a public pool or hot tub (lots of other people germs...). Is this a legitimate concern? Will I be more likely to get infections now?
