Swimming exercises are very good.
Hi! I don't post much, but I thought I'd let you have another view on the breaststoke & butterfly issue. I had my surgery back when I was 17 yrs. old (1984) and at that time I was on the school swim team. I did every stroke . . . butterfly and backstroke being my best. I was also on the drill team at the time. I found that swimming exercises and stretching (from drill team practice) helped me be in my best shape for the surgery. Now I'm 38 yrs. old and I still enjoy the aquatic exercise for my body. I think the only thing you need to keep in mind is overextersion. The strokes, when done correctly and not in sprint-timing situations are very benefitual exercise for the body. Make sure your daughter listens to her body. When she starts to feel pain in the back (or anywhere else for that matter) when doing a stroke, which ever one it may be, she needs to stop and rest of lay off doing it for a day or so. For the most part there shouldn't be any reason for her not to do those strokes. Also if she hasn't been doing it very long her muscles may be adjusting to the new movements, but if pain persists that is a matter to be addressed by her doctor.
Apart from bungee jumping, I don't think I have yet to not do a certain physical activity. Of course, I do it in moderation.
