I play football in the fall, swimming in the winter, and baseball in the spring & summer. Football is no longer much fun to play. I was wondering if I shouldn't play football next year and do cross-country instead. Cross-country would be more beneficial, and would get me in better shape, and I am seriously trying to get a swimming scholorship. Should I quit football and do cross country instead?

I believe it was Janet Evans who would do some running while training for the Olympics / college (I believe she use to run about 5 miles a day) of course she still swam the running was just some extra work. So I would stay with the running, plus the fact that if you are serious about swimming, the chances of injury from playing football are greater than running.
