I have decided to learn how to swim finally. This is something I have been planning to do for a long time. Since, I have been diagnosed with Lupus; I have been constant in pain. My rheumatologist has prescribed strong steroid medication. I'm still in pain. Hopefully, swimming will help with some of the pain am experiencing.

I hope you love it! It’s so wonderful when I can’t go my body really lets me know. Good luck to you. I’d love to know if it works for you too! Have fun
Hi good luck with the swimming. I have just been on holiday for 2 weeks and swam across our small pool and back . From that point on have had a sore back and knee. I ended up in bed for much of first week due to the intense pain on moving ! For me , maybe not a good idea. I would advise take it VERY gently to begin with. It is said to be good for your joints as no weight bearing effect when swimming.
