Is It Possible To Swim With Cellulitis And In What Type Of Water?

I have chronic cellulitis. I have no ulcers with it. May I swim and if so it best to swim in pool with salt system or chlorine? I realize the importance of exercise, and about the only ones I can do due to obesity are ones in the pool. I have poor circulation.
