ACL Taping (for stability?)

I am a physiotherapist with an injury.

Typical history of ACL rupture, Allograft repair, med/let meniscectomy after re-injury(2 yrs later), then new med. meniscus tear (12 years later). Lachman's is good, but positive pivot-shift.

I want to learn how to tape my knee for stability in non-weightbearing, ie: in the pool or ocean. I get a fair amount of pain after taking my 4 year old into the waves, standing, moving around, with the weight of the water on my lower leg at various angles. I can feel the joint laxity in non-weightbearing. I don't think my brace will work in the water. Or do I have to tape the brace on?

tips??
