Perineal massage can help prevent early bad tearing during delivery. Google how to do it, it's pretty easy and my husband does it for me.
As for walking and swimming in the pool, it's really great for you and can definitely help build up the necessary muscles for delivery. And it certainly won't make labor any harder.
