If a burn is not completely healed it is recommended that you do not swim in either a pool or the ocean as there is a significant risk of infection. We cannot evaluate the status of your burn. I would follow whatever timeline your doctor gave you. Did he say to wait a year? If so, you can ask him or her if you might return to swimming sooner.
