Is it good for swimming?

Yes. It is rated 10 ATM (100m), which covers swimming and showering. It is not a dive watch for deep diving.

Large. At 46mm it suits wrists around 7 inches and up; smaller wrists may find it oversized and heavy.

Yes, it has chronograph pushers and subdials alongside the date window.
