OK, how many people on here would rather be a runner than a swimmer, but due to injuries or something else have been forced to turn to a sport that has less impact on the body?
I swim as cross training for running. I found that every day running did not work for me(although I would love to if I could) but 3 times per week does even with high mileage.
I do love swimming and the feeling after a good workout, however, for me, it cannot compare to the feeling of running. It is so much more relaxing and provides better "thinking time than swimming".

Aquageek, I didn't mean to tick you off :whiteflag:, but you haven't run much or you would realize it's more than one foot in front of the other. Quite a bit more, actually.
I'm a fairly new swimmer but because of my running endurance I'm able to swim for a long, long time. I have been thinking about entering a long race such as the Chesapeake Bay Swim. However, you are correct, I should swim somthing comparable to a marathon before passing judgement.
