Swimming is one of the methods to cope with discomfort during pregnancy. It is not a secret that swimming is one of the least dangerous and lowest impact methods to train muscles and joints, particularly for a pregnant woman. Exercising in water reduces body, lowers a high blood pressure, and relieves strain on the heart and on the back, which both work especially hard during pregnancy. Swimming also helps to easily and pleasantly reduce joint stiffness.

It is well known that swimming is one of the best methods of rehabilitation after surgery. Swimming after surgery works the entire body and forces the body to start working again. It is the most protective and sparing method to train muscles and joints. So, it is good for after-surgery patients and especially for post-mastectomy women who need not only physical rehabilitation but also psychological re-building as well.
