N2  - The merits of exercise for persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) are increasingly recognized.1 Swimming is a common way to stay active for persons with PD. However, recent work shows that swimming in PD is not without risks: A survey conducted among 309 persons with PD indicated that 87.7% had noticed a deterioration in their swimming capacity, and 49.1% reported near‐drowning experiences.2 In this video‐illustrated report, we provide a detailed analysis of how swimming has become affected in an experienced swimmer with PD. We also highlight how both pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions improved his swimming capacity, which may help to prevent near‐drowning or actual drowning. <p />  <p>Language: en</p>
