Swimming at 22 weeks: As with any strenuous exercise, overdoing it can be harmful. Start with short times/distances and work up to more...this kind of exercise is great when pregnant, since injury is much less likely, and more muscle groups are used, which benefits your overall health. Your weight is supported in water, which takes the stress off of your hips and knees.
