The injury may have been a bone contusion. Was there evidence of bleeding such as extensive black & blue discoloration? Although swimming is not a weight bearing exercise there will be.knee action. You don't seem to have symptoms of continuing inflammation so I'd try swimming ,breaking in easily. If.no pain gradually increase intensity of exercise. Back off if pain or swelling occur.

Swelling is an indication of damage to the joint of some kind. Have your knee examined by family doctor or orthopedist
