swimming with a broken leg

I broke my ankle a little over a month ago and have been longing to get back into the pool. I have a removable boot on and the doctor said that my ankle is healing well, however I still can not walk without the boot. I was thinking that I could swim with a pull bouy between my legs, and just use my arms. Would this be ok?

  • When I hurt my knee and could not swim, I hooked up stretchcordz to the block and swam anyway! Did this for about 3 weeks. If the set was 8 x 50 on :40. I'd push off with everybody else do my same number of strokes (plus a few for good measure!) and stop when they stopped. Worked great. Three months later I did life best times :agree:
