[quote=Anonymous]As a lifelong swimmer, and a competitive one in HS and college, I completely disagree that swimming is a "great" activity for core strength. It's better that playing video games or slow walking, yes. Your core is the least engaged group of muscles during even vigorous swimming. Not to mention that swimming is not a weight-bearing activity, so the core is not called upon to do any heavy lifting (the water does it for you). I am on this thread because my son has mild hypotonia. Much more targeted activities would be yoga, gymnastics, certain kinds of very active dance (or even "cheer" type programs), and karate and tae kwon do. [/quote]
