Body doesnt forget .. You were fit once, so believe me there is "muscle memory" .. I will not say to you that it will be easy, but you are not so old as you think .. you can try some pull ups ..
You do not have to go to gym to do them, you can buy one cheap pull up bar and you can place it in your door .. I am 32 and I am exersice very often cause it really feels good ..
You can watch my pull ups on YOUTUBE ..
Or you can read my article for some basic pull ups
Pull ups for beginners at home
Walking and swimming are really good for you, there is no doubt for that. But I am very sure that you can try other things too, like pull ups. Step by step, try to do 2 pull ups in the beginning and as the time goes by you can go for more ..
Except if some DOCTOR suggested that you should avoid exersices like pull ups or push ups. Then you should not try to do any and keep swimming and walking like you do.
