HI!
Found this article yesterday..I love what it says! I also have to agree with it, especially what it says about land vs. water exercising.
How about anyone else? thoughts?

I completely agree, 100%!
I have been a competitive swimmer for 7+ years and have never suffered an injury from swimming! It is truly the best and safest exercise! I spraine my ankle within the 1st 2 weeks of track but have nothing from all my swimming years. For anyone looking to get in shape and get a great burn, SWIMMING IS PERFECT!0 -
I think this is a great article! I do have to disagree, however, with the injury stuff...although many of my injuries were caused by cross training (weights and running, mainly), alot of us had overuse injuries (rotator cuffs especially). I think people also tend to go too far too fast at times and end up with similar type injuries! Overall, though, swimming is MUCH better for injuries, especially for a recreational swimmer
Thanks for posting this article!
