Swimming excellent: If you have back pain and problem as "Kyphosis" or scoliosis - abdormal curvature of spine. Swimming is low stress exercise and improve posture and strenght as weel as cardio endurance.Avod swimmign in one style for too long - change from breast stroaks to back and take breaks if your body is telling you.It is better exercise than " high impact '. Pay attention to stretching, flexibility .
