Told yah: you know your own body better than any one.
Just keep listening to it (your body) and you'll have it coordinated in no time.
I forgot to mention in my previous comments, that with your knee, you'll have to be careful of some upcoming stuff they're going to want to teach you.
The Whip Kick. The Scissor Kick. The Egg Beater.
The Scissor shouldn't be a problem for you. Don't worry about it.
Becareful of the Whip Kick -- it involves strong action through the knee. And when you don't have good technique, it requires a stronger joint.
The Egg Beater is a kick that really comes from the hip, but as you learn it, you'll tend to use your knees again through a range of motion that it might protest. Be wary and go SLOW with both Whip Kick and Egg Beater.
Then again, maybe they won't teach you these, I don't know. But just a word of warning for you to note JIC.
Congratulations on beating the hurdle. You're swimming. The rest from here is just efficiency and maximization. Good luck! You got that pool whooped.
