As many as you can presumably, some great champion Olympic swimmers were diabetics.

As with any exercise, as much as you feel is physically possible. However test before, during (if possible) and afterwards and record your results, as this is a useful way to see what your body is conditioned to do without running high/low. I swim each week and find I dip about an hour afterwards so as long as i have a snack afterwards i'm fine. Just be aware some swimming pools are fairly cool so you can burn extra glucose keeping warm and try to keep your testing kit + glucose nearby or with the lifeguard.
