I hope that you do not mind me starting a thread on my first post, but I saw this and wondered what swimmers would think about it. I swim, but not competitively.
Anyway, here is the question posted on LetsRun:
"Phelps is a phenomenal athlete.
How many of you runners who ran competitively in college think you could beat him in a foot race?
Any distance from 100 meters to the marathon, your choice."
You can see people's answers on the thread here, but I am interested in hearing what you think as well. This is an interesting question.
Thanks.

I've seen great swimmers that were great runners and terrible runners. I've also seen not-so-good swimmers be great runners. Most of the good runners on my team were good swimmer, but I think it has more to do with work ethic. No direct correlation though.
