Q&A: Is swimming a good exercise to get in shape for golf?

QUESTION:
I love to golf, and want to get better, I know that spending time in the course is important, but also, spending some time getting in shape is important also since I walk the course. I swim, about 2000 yards 3-4 times a week, depending on how much I golf, I have never had any clear answer if this is good for my game, or could hurt my game. I dont enjoy weights, and am not a motivated runner. I was hoping that someone could give me some insight on this, thanks.

Swimming is a good exercise for most sports. It exercises loads of muscles, builds shoulder & leg strength and helps the cardio vascular system.
