It is entirely possible to swim without using more than three limbs, though it does take some practice. I have also lost weight swimming, but you have to do it a lot. Last summer I was swimming 20-40 lengths three or four days a week and that worked. This winter I have only been swimming twice, and that definitely didn't! (But I hate my hair freezing worse than I hate being a fat unfit lump.)
The best way to get physio is to go to the doctor and say "There's something dodgy about my knee, I think I need physio." Then in about 3 months when you get to the top of the list, you'll have tons of it -- and you can then keep doing the exercises for ever afterwards whenever it goes wrong again. Having said that, do not do any physio exercise for something similar but not the same. I have done something different to my back, and trying the exercise was a mistake to the point of anguish.
