On the opposite, swimming is the perfect sport for posture and back. The water works as a protective environment, protecting your bones and improving your posture

No. In fact, it is just the opposite. Swimming is very helpful for both the back and for posture, because it stretches and strengthens the muscles in the back and all around the torso. It is a favorite exercise recommended by doctors because of its low stress level and because it gives a good workout.

Definitely not! Swimming actually improves your posture! It encourages your spine more flexibility and strengthens your endurance. Personally, swimming is the best sport I've ever tried for the past ten years I've been active in sports.

No, swimming is one of the best exercises available to man. It works out every part of the body completely and is relaxing and meditative at the same time.

Absoluetly not. Swimming is one of the best exercises you can do. It exercizes all muscle groups without overloading your body.
