Swimming

Is it okay to take a person with alzheimer to swim? I read that it's okay for them to swim and sometimes can help them too. We have a swimming pool at our home and if it's okay for my mom to swim then I am planning to call the swimming pool builders to install few safety accessories to the pool to make it safer. I am not planning to let her swim unsupervised. She does not have any other ailments so I guess it must be okay for her to swim? What are your opinions?
