I talked to someone at Motherhood Maternity about swimming and breastfeeding and they actually sell rubber shields you can wear under your suit if you want to but I did read online that it is perfectly okay to swim if you are breastfeeding. Just be sure to wash off before you feed after swimming.
 
I found the following info online about babies and swimming. You might find it helpful!

It's up to you to decide when you want to take your baby swimming. You don't need to wait until she's immunised, as the chlorine in the water will kill off any bacteria or viruses. It's probably sensible to wait until she's at least a few weeks old, because a tiny baby may feel a little cold and perhaps overwhelmed in a large public pool. Or you may want to wait until after your postnatal check at six to eight weeks. Also bear in mind that lots of baby swimming classes don't accept babies until they are twelve weeks old.

If you're planning to go regularly, it's worth investing in a couple of baby swim nappies to prevent accidents in the pool. Initially your baby will just enjoy the sensation of the water and the interaction with you, but you can start teaching her basic swimming skills from about six months of age. Ask if classes are available at your local swimming pool.

You can boost your baby's confidence in the water by keeping your face at eye level, maintaining eye contact and by smiling and talking reassuringly. Taking a familiar bath toy is a good idea as well.

Keep swimming times short at first and take your baby out if she starts to shiver, wrapping her up warmly. Avoid going swimming if your baby is unwell, too.

Have fun!!

I am in the pool every day with baby (although my guy is about 10 months old), and I even nurse him IN the pool LOL I just keep a squirt bottle of fresh water out there with us and spray a little on my breast b/f feeding, just to get off any pool water that might be there. You just want to make sure that baby does not get much (or any) water in their mouth when they are tiny 1) b/c of choking hazard and 2) b/c they can easily ge****er intoxication (and imbalance in electrolytes) that can make them ill.

With a premie you just want to make sure to keep them away from anyone who is showing symptoms of respitory infection or illness, make sure people wash their hands before touching baby and keep small kids away from baby as much as possible. Really you are in a pretty good time right now though, b/c cold and flu season is over, and RSV (which is the real danger for premies) is next to non-existant during this time of year.

Go out, have fun, just be careful and watch baby for cues that will tell you if they are too hot, cold, uncomfortable, etc!
