Chest= very tight during/after swimming. many skipped beats between laps. heart function much better after asd closure. why then these issues?

Arrhythmia: It is hard to know if they are atrial or ventricular but because you are symptomatic, you should see your cardiologist for evaluation. You probably will need echocardiogram, Holter monitor and stress test.
