Swimming will help to get blood flow into any damaged tissue around the tail bone which is probably bruised. Blood flow will help heal, strengthen, and renew the tissue but, avoid weight bearing exercise as that my add to the bruising. Gently flutter kick while floating on your back, it will strengthen the area. Be careful not to overdo it in the beginning.
