Swimming laps is a great limbering exercise and even a healing one in my experience. Strangely enough swimming in saltwater seems to be more beneficial than fresh for working out some issues. Must have to do with how the body streams out in more bouyant saltwater. If you work up to sprinting in the pool, it is also a good cardio workout. Lastly, at this is a big one, I believe kiteboarders should be watermen to a degree. That is they should be able to hold their own despite exertions in reasonable waves, current and even distance swims. Things happen, right? Developing strong swimming skills with a variety of strokes fits into this.
