Swimming is good exercise Swimming is a lifetime sport that benefits the body and the whole person! But what is it that makes swimming good, specifically? That depends on what you are trying to accomplish.
I totally agree, swimming has a lot to do also in relieving inflamed joints. It is one of the best form of exercise for this because it stretches and strengthens the muscles and gives your hip joints a good workout without placing any weight on them.
Depend on how often you swim and the intensity, you can really pack on some muscle. I swim a lot but about 6months ago I took it more seriously, swimming about 4 times a week, and I packed on a fair bit of muscle, especially on my back and shoulders (for obvious reasons). And for your fitness level, it really is good stuff. You can't beat it.
