  • It's really not about swimming being necessary... It's just explaining that swimming is one of many very effective options for exercises post-op.

  • Cannot believe these stupid comments??????

  • I never lost access to my quad! so probably don't need to swim I would guess

  • I just swim on 4 weeks after ACL surgery.

  • I want to recover from a High Grade partial thickness tear at the LCL. I want to get a strong leg/knee area. I want to know how much I can do before I choose surgery as an option in the short/medium term.

    What "exercises" are best for people who have torn their ACL and are opting to go without surgery for the short term?

  • I do think wimmings is not essential actually......it is working out in water because of the resistence of water itself and support of the weight.
