Yes, it is a great form of exercise as it tones up your whole body. Despite what has been said...it is not much of a calorie burner though (in comparison to running, aerobics and weights) and I wouldn't expect to lose much weight.

Absolutely - and one of the best, as you use so many different muscles. Even a leisurely swim, can burn up to 500 calories per hour, depending on your weight.
Personally, I love to swim.

yes, a great workout, cools your down and adds more weight to move your muscles and less impact on your joints.

Yes, it is physical movement and can help you to lose weight or maintain your current weight.

it's one of the best exercises because there is very little stress and impact on joints and you work so much of your muscles.
