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".

Second, all runners will someday state "if I get too tired during a race I can always stop and walk." Good luck doing that with swimming. I think that is maybe what stud does on his backstroke flip turns, as a counterpoint to my assertion.
No that would be stop and ask for directions...the rest pause is spillover benefit!
You don't run because Mrs Geek doesn't let you go past the end of the driveway. At least at the pool she can watch her little soldier from the deck...have you gotten up to "monkey, aeroplane, soldier" yet?
