Most probably you got patellofemoral syndrome with recurrent dislocation of the patella. This is likely to cause serious cartilagenous problems, mechanical disturbance of the knee, and quadriceps weakness. You should do necessary imaging to assess the status of your cartilage and bony anatomy. Surgery might be considered after proper physical exam. You should do quadriceps strengthening exercises which will add to the stability of your patella whether surgery is necessary or not. Swimming at this stage might hurt your knee in case of any twisting or jerky movement.
