A member asked:
Is swimming good for teens who have osgood schlatter disease and tendonitis in his or her knees?

Yes: Swimming is great exercise for everyone! the basic problem with osgood schlatter's is that the child is rapidly getting taller and the musculo-skeletal system is a little behind in keeping up. Non weight-bearing exercise like swimming is not going to be detrimental.

Great : For any teen with osgood schlatter, non impact and no jumping or running exercise is critical. Keep quad muscles strong, and stretch the quads in addition to swimming and biking.
