I don't think running is going to hurt your swimming (unless you end up miss stepping or tripping). I believe it was Janet Evans who use to do 3 or 4 run workouts a week of about 5 miles each run in preperation for 92 Olympics.
I use to do quite a bit of running when I played polo in college and even kept doing some running during swim season.
In regards to intervals with running, we would do some interval and some straight runs - usually mixed with some plymetric exercises or running repeats of the stairs in the bleachers.
