Amazing. This is what I'm aiming to do here on Cape Breton. I did a 5km open water swim several years ago pre-MS and planning for another next summer. I totally agree that swimming is the best exercise. There's something about the kicking and windmill action of the arms during front crawl that stimulates the nervous system and helps my walking.
