Your physio will be able to advise you on this, if you speak to them and explain the type of training you are wanting to get back to they will test you. Weaving between cones, running, rebound and balance boards are just some of the ways to check the stability around the knee.
Remember you need to work on the hamstrings, gastrocnemius, soleus and quadriceps as well as hip stabilizers when you have a knee injury to help with strengthening and stabilizing the knee joint.
Hydro exercises are great for ROM but remember the buoyancy takes the weight from your knee so you will feel you can do more than you can on dry land.
The majority of MSK doctors/physio's will have a MCL program that they follow and issue to patients, they should be your first point of call when you have a question regarding your rehab IMO.
Good luck!
