What Could Be The Possibilities For Swimming Post Dialysis ? Suggest Treatments .

I m just beginning my first two dialysis and am concerned about the future. I m 57 and just retired to work on my health full time. My wife and I bought land in the Dominican republic and we are going to build a new life for ourselves on the island. Mostly I want to know about my ability to be able to swim in the ocean. I had lap band surgery a few years ago and it was successful and now have to have it out. I dought that I will ever make 210 for a transplant I started at 425lbs and before the water retention and blouting I had made it to 310. But anyway what is the best dialysis for swimming.
