I am not medically trained but as a tracheotomy is a surgical procedure in which a cut or opening is made in the windpipe (trachea) into which the surgeon inserts a tube to allow air to get to the lungs, I would have thought that the risk of water entering this tube (and therefore the lungs) while swimming would be high. I would therefore think that swimming would not be encouraged while the tube was in place.
However once the tube is removed and the wound has healed I would have thought that it may be possible to swim again (on medical advice).
