you pretty much have to find what you enjoy doing that your body doesnt scream at you. it seems like you found that in swimming so unless going to the pool is too big of a problem i wohld say swimming is a great pick for you

Just work through it slowly. Start light and gradually increase. Train in whatever ROM you want to be strong in
