How can I make my chalazion go away after my surgery? When am I able to go swimming? I am going on a vacation soon (Photo)

I have had a chalazion for about 4 months on my lower eyelid. It became infected and got even bigger a week before my chalazion. So when I went in for surgery I felt a lot of pain. But after the surgery my eye healed in only two days. It has now been a long time, and my eye has completely healed but there is still a little bump there that is very visible and that annoys me. I also have a little chalazion on my upper lid that won't go away - What can I do and when can i swim since i want it gone.
