Swimming can be both therapeutic and prophylactic, helping people overcome and even prevent all sorts of illness and disabilities. Part of the reason for this is that water buoyancy makes it a non-impact form of exercise, removing the stress placed on the joints and therefore opening it up to people with a wide range of conditions for whom land-based activities are problematic. It is also a sport that exercises a wide range of muscle groups, builds muscular strenght and endurance and develops self-confidence.
