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".

I think it is for every 20 min. of water exercise is equal to 60 min. of land exercise, assuming that exertion rates are the same by the same individual. We can thank the many exciting properties of water such as resistance and pressure.
