After a sixty some years of swimming for enjoyment and fitness with occsional competition as fun I had to have ankle surgery that resulted in a fused ankle.
I am in therapy and rejoined my local masters group last week But I wonder how much ambition I should harbor, I now I lose about 30% vertical mobility in the ankle and probably won't be able to kick effectively. But I thought perhaps the *** stroke and butterfly could be my focus.
Do any of my fellow members have suggestions - experience to share?

I coach a man that has both ankles fused. He excels at Breaststroke and Backstroke. These seem to be the two easiest kicks for him. Since his ankles have his feet in a permantly flexed position, Breastroke is ideal. He can do Back well since there is an upkick on the stroke.
Good luck
