Swimming during ramadan :
Question: Can we go for swimming when fasting?
Answer: If water enters the body, either through the mouth or through other orifices of the body, then the fast is invalidated. In swimming, water anyhow enters the body through the mouth, ears, nose or other orifices. As such, swimming is not permissible when one is fasting.
And Allah Most High knows best.
