swimming should be good therapy as long as you take it easy so you don't make it worse by aggravation. do you know what the problem is?
I hade full thickness tears on the whole rotator cuff last time. the surgeon said his colleagues told him it would be useless to operate. he tried it and gave me strict rehab orders and it is strong again. not like it was back in the day, but pretty darn good considering. I found that doing cardio helped heal, probably due to the blood flow getting the nutrients etc where they needed to be and also helping flush out the system faster.
anyway, have fun in Hawaii and enjoy the time off. what island are you heading to. if you don't mind me asking? we have been to Maui several times and Oahu once. loved it.
