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?

    I'd say it depends on what type of break and where exactly in the ankle.Regardless, clear it with your DR-if you start too soon you will only prolong the healing time.I would recomend swimming as rehab once the break is healed.
