Swimming whilst fasting

Question:

Is it permissible to swim while fasting? 

Answer:

الجواب باسم ملهم الصواب

• Yes, it is permissible to swim whilst fasting.
• However, a person should be careful not to swallow any water by mistake, as this would break the fast and necessitate a make-up fast in its place.

Only Allah knows best.
