Low impact sports...
So basically I have just been told that after doing over 10 years of gymnastics I am no longer allowed to do it, if i want to walk in the future; due to shattering the joint of my shin and ankle bones. So what competitive LOW IMPACT sports are there to participate in?? (Excluding swimming!!)

Hmm I am thinking of a very active one if there is one??

Chess is a sport... Table tennis, bowling and frisbee can also be great fun.
I wouldn't really recommend table tennis tbh

Hmmm. Depends how you play though. I don't play it seriously, so I barely move around while playing.

True, I used to play in proper tournaments and its really fast. I guess it depends how seriously you play it
As said above one option is rowing which is an amazing sport 
Why excluding swimming? I've been doing competitive swimming for about 7 years and its been a great experience that I'm glad I gave myself the opportunity to have. It may seem a boring sport but when you're training properly its a really intense workout and generally quite fun when you have a great group of friends doing it with you!
Rowing, cycling

Some people have natural fears of water

Bloxorus,
Because I was a competitive swimmer from the age of 6 and went to a boarding school (same as the Queen's granddaughter and grandson went to) to swim over 21 hours a week... I stopped after almost 8 years. I wouldn't want to go back as I won't be near the same standard as I was and that would annoy me as I am to competitive!!

Golf? It's probably not enough activity but I don't know the severity of your problem so I wouldn't suggest something that doesn't help you. Golf clubs can be pretty cheap so it's just a matter of having a well priced golf course to play on really. You don't need 14 clubs like Tour players
I already play golf socially, but I need something to keep really fit... But thanks for all the suggestions!!
