So, one of the example sentences for ため that I see in the learning software I
use is:

> 彼女はダイエットのために泳いでいる。

Which basically means, "She swims in order to lose weight."

But what if you wanted to say, "She swims in order to lose weight, and for
fun?"

There's a common way of speaking to tell somebody does something with multiple
purposes.

> 彼女はダイエット **と** 趣味 **を兼【か】ねて** 水泳をしている。
