I had triple heart bypass surgery 14 months ago and I also had a stroke at the same time. I am keen to get back to swimming although I only swim breast stroke would this be possible, or is it too soon. Before the operation I was a fit 75 year old Many thanks

Hi Swimmer,

Everyone's situation/recovery is different, which is why I recommend speaking with your physician to know if you're at a stage you can begin swimming again.

All the best,
