Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You can go for swimming now, it’s already been years and you can do all your routine activities. Make sure that the water is clean and free of contamination as it can cause infection.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Shinas Hussain
