Alternatives for RocketSoc

I had a Brostrom reconstruction done on 6/25,and was just moved into a DonJoy RocketSoc. The brace is fine,except that it’s a lace up,so putting it on and taking it off is a pain.I’m going camping next week,right on a lake,so I’ll be swimming a lot,and I don’t want to a)have to deal with my brace each time I want to swim or b)worry about having my brace stolen while I’m swimming since there won’t be any place but the beach to put it.Any suggestions (preferably OTC) of braces that I could buy one of for my trip? Thanks!
