you are asking for very patient-specific advice. since i do not know the medical details of your case it would be impossible to blindly give you the okay to go swimming. go to school/work. or even make a determination if you are contagious. i don't know the location or extent of your cellulitis the type of bacteria that was cultured or even the name and dosage of your antibiotic. the only person that can give you this "okay" would be the medical provider who is treating you. i am sorry.
