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.

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.
