Swimming and arthritis?

I believe swimming is good for people with arthritis (though there seems to be saying that people with rheumatoid arthritis should avoid swimming?) . I wonder if it helps prevent it? Are lifelong swimmers less likely to develop arthritis in old age? Funny how I thought of this question. Yesterday I saw my friend's cat. She used to be a very active cat, but now at 15 she's walking like an old lady and had pains due to arthritis. It was sad to see her in this state knowing what she's like when younger. :( (My question pertains to human beings, though ;))

    Thank you, Deep. It has never dawned on me to try a neoprene sleeve. I will definately look into that. If it keeps the elbows warm and from aching then it will be worth a wonky stroke... like it isn't already from the permanently bent arms! Thanks again! Lainey
