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".

Which costs more medically???
All I ever hear is about all the medical injuries of runners.
Swimmers who swim breaststroke are the medical risks for sure.
My knees I blame on running when I was a kid, not on swimming.
My broken ankle came from walking, I stepped in a pothole.
I did have swimmers ear once.
