When using a negative in Spanish you can usually chose to say either
NO + finite verb + tampoco/jamás/nunca/etc... OR
tampoco/jamás/nunca/etc... + finite verb
So you can say either:
(A mí) no me gusta nadar, (y) no me gusta practicar deportes tampoco. (but because you already just said something similar in the first half of the sentence, it sounds a bit double, (also because it'd sound weird to leave out the second 'me gusta', which you cán do in the following sentence) :
(A mí) no me gusta nadar, (y) tampoco (me gusta) practicar deportes.
so the shortest would be: No me gusta nadar, tampoco practicar deportes.
If you do not háve to use 'tampoco', another way to say this is 'ni'. (Yes, you are a knight now.
)
"No me gusta nadar ni practicar deportes." (I think this one sounds the most natural)
