My puppy's spay wound is draining clear after swimming. Vet needed?

Question

My puppy was a rescue and was spayed prior to me adopting her, after she went swimming in the pool there was some drainage on her wound, does she need to go to a vet or is a wrapped bandage okay for it to heal? There's no opening and just very light draining thats clear. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Medium (23 - 60lb) | Female | spayed | 5 months and 20 days old | 30 lbs

As long as the draining fluid is clear, and there is no opening or removed stitch I would leave it as it is and not put a wrap around it Make sure Luna wears an e-collar so she cannot lick the incision. If the incision turns red, puffy, painful and/or has a discharge other than clear, you will need to take her back to the vet office for a recheck.
