Time and time again I have seen swimming worked into keeps but never seen it end well. Maybe it's just the ones I have seen. But if it's got to be part of the keep maybe a light day work out or warm up. Jmo
I was thinking more of cool down since the hand walking will be used to warm up and empty out.
