though i'm upset i can't swim now because of some oral surgery that i don't want to chance infecting, normally i swim quite a bit. i think it is the best low-impact exercise you can do for yourself and i credit it, in no small part, for helping me recover from a serious back injury many years ago.
what could be more ideal than exercising in a medium which creates resistance so that muscles are worked but also provides buoyancy so as to reduce the impact on your body of even your own body weight.
