If you use a kickboard for a 1650m sure but most swimming is upper body.

If riding a bike is alright with your knee do that instead. Biking is king of low impact leg gains.

I wanma start swimming at least once a week for recovery and cardiovascular endurance.

Will that fuck with my gains if i do it the day after leg day?

You won't make leg gains much, nor anywhere else on your body. Shoulders will benefit the most though.

probably not unless you swim a lot, and if you don't swim that often you won't be swimming that much until your technique and cardio skills catch up.

hell yes shoulders and lats look and feel great since i started swimming regularly

Do not under any circumstances do breaststrokes, I have a fucked up knee right now because I did breaststrokes with unbalanced legwork.

How do I learn to swim if there's no classes near me, and my gym has classes for children only?

are you a complete beginner? It's pretty important to have a teacher imo

Yeah breast stroke requires an atypical ROM of the knee.

This. I would talk with your doctor about what range of motion you should avoid. Swimming is great cardio, back it 100%
