Work out post rotator cuff surgery

Can anyone recommend a good workout for someone 18 months out from rotator cuff surgery? I am finally at a point where I can swim again. I've been trying several different workouts but I can't seem to swim more than 200 yards freestyle at a time without exhausting my shoulder. I've done the full PT and weight program to strengthen my shoulder. It feels strong yet I have to keep switching to breaststroke. I can't seem to get a good workout this way. Breaststroke is my worst and slowest stroke. Any ideas?

    why did you have the surgery? i get sharp pains in my shoulder when i swim more than three miles in a week. I'm not sure if I'm just not stretching enough or if there is something more going on. I mostly swim free style so maybe switching it up a bit will help.
